Guardiola: I want the Champions trophy back.

Pep Guardilla has challenged his team Manchester City to achieve something special and to win back the Champions League title.

Triplete winners begin protecting their European crown as they await Belgrade Red Star at the “Etihad” stadium on Tuesday.

City finally put an end to several years of efforts to win the Champions League for the first time last season, but, while Guardiola is proud of their achievements, he thinks the mission has not yet ended.

I'd like to say that for our club to win the Champions League is incredible, the first time in our history, but, in perspective, how many teams once won the Champions League? Many have won two, three, four, five times. In perspective, we did nothing special. It's only a”, Guardiola said.

It's harder to win first. But every season we start the race in the first match with the goal of winning the first match, then the group phase, then we try to win the Champions League. Nothing changes from before.”, the former Barcelona coach stressed.
