Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini isn't getting carried away as they enter their Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

While Europe might seem the next logical target, Mancini is setting no bold targets for this particular season.

Speaking at the Bernabeu Stadium ahead of his side's mouth-watering Group D opener against Real Madrid, Mancini said: "If you drive a Ferrari you can win, if you drive a Fiat Cinquecento, probably not.

"In the past we have been working for this. I think we beat good teams but we have played together for two years and we needed time.

"I am sure we will arrive to win this trophy in the future. I do not know when, but I am sure because we are working for this.

"If we want to improve every year it is possible."
