Anything can happen in Champions League - Man City's Zabaleta

Pablo Zabaleta insists Manchester City have a good a chance as any to win the Champions League this season.

The Argentine right-back was a part of the City side that won the 2011/12 Premier League title and is well aware just how difficult it is to be successful in that competition.

And Zabaleta is also wary of how tough it can be to win Europe's top club competition, or the World Cup for that matter, but says anything can happen on its day.

"As a player, you have to try and win everything you are involved in. There are differences between each competition, of course," he told the club's official website.

"The Premier League is over 38 games while the Champions League and World Cup have fewer games and anything can happen.

"From my own experience, winning the Premier League was so special because it means everything to the players and the supporters and is the biggest prize in England. As for the Champions League, we are up against the best teams in Europe - but we will try our best and you never know in football."
