Man City captain Fernandinho confident of Champions League success

Manchester City captain Fernandinho says they kickoff their Champions League campaign tonight full of confidence.

Fernandinho still believes Manchester City have what it takes to dominate Europe.

He said: "If you're going to compare name by name, I think it's very level. Both teams have a very good squad. Perhaps one or the other will wash away a very small advantage.

"But I think that, due to the standard of play, the way we have played for five or six years with Pep [Guardiola], we have a defined standard of play, we know exactly how each player behaves or should behave on the pitch.

"We know about the quality of each player and how he can play the best role in the matches. Without a doubt, in this matter, we have a little more advantage.

"Having practically the same players since 2017, it's no wonder the club managed to win three titles in the last five."
