Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has assured fans that the Citizens will eventually win the Champions League title.
City have enjoyed a wonderful rise to prominence since the influx of cash from their Middle East owners and as a testament to this, the club have managed to win two Premier League titles in the last four seasons.
However, City have been unable to replicate such success in the Champions League, failing to even make it into the quarter finals of the elite European competition during that time.
Nonetheless, Pellegrini is not too worried and has stated that City will eventually manage to claim triumph in Europe's premier club competition.
Pellegrini said: "History is good, but you don't win things because you have history. For me, what is important is the future. Not the past.
"I am sure that Manchester City will win the Champions League in the future because the whole club works well. But being champions of Europe must not be an obsession here.
"Manchester United, in the whole period of Sir Alex Ferguson, when he was the best manager in the club's history, only won the Champions League twice in 27 years.
"Even Barcelona had to wait 30 years. Real Madrid won many European titles in the beginning and then had to wait 28 or 29 years. Being a strong team is Europe must be our target, but not at the expense of the Premier League."
