Manchester City will win the Champions League one day – according to manager Pep Guardiola.
Despite a decade of sustained success domestically, City have not won a single European competition in this time.
Guardiola’s side are desperate to win the Champions League, as they prepare to take on Real Madrid in the semi-final first leg on Tuesday.
“We arrived here last season with encouragement to get to the final,” said Guardiola to reporters.
“We played really good in both games. But it was not enough.
“But what happened in the past is the past. We are not here for revenge. It’s just another opportunity.
“As much as we are here, one day we will get it. One day we will reach the final and we will win it. We come here to do this this season.
“Last season we also came here to reach the final and win it. But it didn’t happen because we played against Real Madrid and in this competition they know exactly what they have to do.
“As much as we play against them or the other top teams in Europe, much closer we will be.”
