Samir Nasri admits Manchester City's players are fighting for their futures this season. Nasri has warned that the future of City's stars and their manager Manuel Pellegrini are at stake in Tuesday's crucial Champions League clash with Bayern Munich.
"Let's be honest, we need to do something or otherwise next year it's going to be new players, it's going to be everything," said the Frenchman.
"That's how it works when you play for a big club. With the salary of every player and the level of those players, 90 per cent of the team is world class.
"Then not to qualify from the first round of the Champions League would be a huge blow for the club - and for us as well. With the players we have and everything, the owner gives us his trust, we have to return it in the Champions League. It's the perfect scene to show we can compete with the best team in the world.
"We need to show that we are smart players and to use what happened in the last couple of years to improve. We still have a chance and we need to take it. Now is the moment."
