Manchester United legend Paul Scholes says there can be no excuses this season for Manchester City in the Champions League.
Manuel Pellegrini took the Blues to the last-16 stage of the competition in 2013-14 - the club's best-ever performance in Europe's premier tournament.
But Scholes expects an even better showing this time around after Pellegrini further strengthened his squad over the summer.
"Champions League will be their main focus for the season. Their owners will want to see them push on in the Champions League," he told ITV.
"They have a tough group this year, but with the players they have they need to go on to win it, and there's really little excuse not to do well."
