Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini won't take the Europa League lightly if they fail to qualify for the next phase of the Champions League.
Mancini concedes their chances are now slim.
"If we end up in the Europa League we would try to reach the final and win it," he said. "We would have a good chance, and it is a trophy this club would like to win. I think Manchester City must always try to win, and I don't believe being in the Europa League will make it harder to compete for the Premier League title. If we get through in the Champions League it will be exactly the same, except everyone would be very happy about that."
