Man City boss Guardiola: We cannot take our achievements for granted

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is not getting complacent about the team being a winning machine.

The Citizens head coach was asked about his side beating FC Copenhagen 3-1 on the night and 6-2 on aggregate on Wednesday.

He was adamant that he does not take City's Champions League progress for granted, as they moved into the quarter finals.

“For me, every time we get through in the group stages 'wow' because I know how difficult it is. I know how difficult it is," he said post-game.

“Everything is difficult. The Premier League is difficult. The FA Cup is difficult.

“People take it for granted now. It's good but we know internally, the manager and the players, that everything is difficult.

“This is what I want my club to feel, from the hierarchy, the people working here, the players - that everything is complicated.

“Still we are there in all competitions. It's really good."
