Milner insists Man City fear no-one in Champions League draw

James Milner insists Manchester City fear no-one ahead of tonight's Champions League draw.

The Premier League champions will be paired with one of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Monaco, Borussia Dortmund or Porto in the next round when the draw is made in Nyon.

Milner said: "The more games you play in the competition and the more games you play as a team, you're only going to get better and it's only going to help you going forward.

"There's Champions League experience in the squad that lets you feel more at home in the competition.

"The draws haven't been too kind to us, but whatever you get thrown at you have to deal with that.

"We managed to do the job (in the group stages) and this is a team and a club that needs to go deep into the competition and we're capable of doing that.

"We seem to get the same team year on year. I'm guessing we'll get Barcelona again. They're all top teams at this stage and we'll see what the draw throws up.

"But we know we can beat anyone on our day and are good enough to do that.

"We've beaten Bayern home and away now and they've been one of the best teams in Europe over the past five years.

"We know we can do it, it's about proving it time and again."
