Strategist Roberto Mancini insists that his players deserve to compete in the UEFA Champions League next season.
Currently, the Manchester team occupies fourth place in the English championship, which guarantees a ticket to the prestigious tournament's qualifying stage.
The closest pursuers - "Liverpool" and London's "Tottenham" - lag behind "Man City" by seven points.
"Everything is in our hands," said the Italian. "Throughout the season, we have been between first and fourth place. We truly deserve a ticket to the Champions League.
We don't feel pressure. We understand that we have a great opportunity - the Champions League was our goal, and the current position we hold is excellent."
