Manchester City captain Richard Dunne says they're serious about winning the UEFA Cup.

Dunne told City's website: "The UEFA is a long competition but both the players and the fans are enjoying it. It's a great opportunity, our only one of winning a trophy this season.

"We have to believe in ourselves, that we can win it. We've been on runs in the FA Cup before and thought that it could be our year, then we've gone out. But if we can get past Aalborg, let's see where we can go from there.

"Some clubs seem to look on it as inconvenient and rest players, but for us it's an opportunity we want to take advantage of. It's exciting to play abroad, even if it seems to be Denmark most of the time! But we have to make sure the opportunity doesn't pass us by.

"We've played two teams from Denmark now and we're getting familiar with the style. Aalborg have dropped down from the Champions League and will have that bit more quality. But we believe that if we play well, we can beat them. Then if we get to the last eight, it gets really interesting."
