Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini insists his team has not flopped this season.

Pellegrini says Manchester City's season is not a disaster, despite this side's last-16 Champions League exit and faltering Premier League challenge.

"We are not a disaster," said Pellegrini. "We are not in eighth, ninth or 10th place. Only Chelsea has done better than our team."

He added: "All of us want to win the title every year, I don't think it is possible to do it but I think it is possible to fight to the end."
