Pellegrini wants better for Man City in Champions League

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini admits they need to improve in the Champions League next season.

Pellegrini will soon turn his attention to next season and one of his prime objectives will be to make further progress in the Champions League.

City qualified for the last-16 stage for the first time this season after two previous failures to get out of their group.

Pellegrini said: "I think that during next week we are celebrating here in Abu Dhabi what we did last season. It was very important to win the league.

"Next week we will start working on how we can improve.

"It's important to improve every year on what we did in the last season.

"We also want to have a better performance in the Champions League.

"To win the Champions League you have to fight with very important teams.

"This year we were very unlucky because we played with one player less against Barcelona (after Pablo Zabaleta was sent off).

"I don't know if we are going to win it next year but we will try to get at least one stage further. We must improve in all senses."
