Man City boss Guardiola: I'm not going to kill myself

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists he's not obsessed about adding to his two Champions League triumphs.

Guardiola tasted Champions League glory twice at Barcelona, but failed to win it at Bayern Munich and has so far failed to deliver the trophy at City, despite winning two Premier League titles, two League Cups and one FA Cup.

"I want to win it but if I don't, it will not change my life," said Guardiola. "I'm not going to kill myself.

"In my first press conference, it was the same question - you are here to win the Champions League.

"I spoke to Ferran [Soriano, City chief executive] and Khaldoon [Al Mubarak, chairman] and they didn't tell me that.

"It's impossible to arrive and do it without the feeling that we want to do it.

"We tried the first season, we tried the second season when we were up for four competitions.

"I would be happier, but it wouldn't change anything in my private life."
