"Manchester City" club strategist Manuel Pellegrini stated that the team is capable of winning against any European team.
The "Citizens" secured a place among the 16 strongest clubs in the Old Continent, but in Group D they are most likely to take second place and remain behind Munich's "Bayern".
However, M. Pellegrini insists that the team is ready for challenges and is not afraid of any possible opponents.
"Spain has strong clubs. Not only 'Barcelona' and 'Real', but also Madrid's 'Atletico' players are showing good performance this season. But I am not afraid of any opponents. Anything can happen in two matches, and we have a strong team," - the 60-year-old coach stated.
"People say it would be tough to play against teams like 'Real', 'Barca', 'Atletico', or PSG. However, none of these teams would be happy to play against us," - the strategist continued.
"I trust the players I have. It is important to be mentally prepared and have ambitions. Aligning high-level players with ambitions is the best way to achieve victories. The clubs I mentioned are beatable, but they have been working towards a certain direction for a long time," he said.
"Our club started thinking and acting like a top-level team not so long ago, but in recent years this team has been striving to be at the top," M. Pellegrini spoke.
"We are on the right path and can beat any team. The most important thing is to have the right mindset. Players should have ambitions and believe that they can achieve a lot. Not only in the Premier League, but also in the Champions League and other tournaments. Players should set goals for themselves," the strategist concluded.
