Man City fullback Zabaleta targets Champions League

Manchester City fullback Pablo Zabaleta says they must do better in Europe next season.

Zabaleta has set his sights on winning the Champions League after winning everything domestically.

City have won the Premier League twice, the FA Cup and the League Cup during the last four years and Zabaleta insists everyone is determined to go all the way in Europe's premier competition after disappointing in Europe during the last three seasons.

"The Champions League is a competition where you play against the best teams in Europe, and on those days, you have to perform well in big games," noted Zabaleta.

"The Premier League is different, it's week in, week out. You have 38 games and if you drop points, you have the chance to win the next game.

"The Champions League is a competition where if you make one mistake, you are out.

"We know how difficult it is to reach the final of the Champions League and win it. I think these players are thinking about it.

"Looking forward, it's a competition we are very excited about trying to win. The owners, everyone is looking forward to this. But step by step - for now, we need to celebrate this title, then we'll see next season."
