Pablo Zabaleta stands by his claims Manchester City are a sleeping giant about to awake.
The Argentina fullback said: "I did say that City were like a beast about to wake up and I stand by that. They are a big club which, for many years, has been in the shadow of United. But, since January, City have created lots of interest throughout the football world.
"That's what I meant when I said it was almost like a monster which is about to awaken."
