Man City fullback Zabaleta: CSKA Moscow clash just huge

Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta admits their Champions League clash with CSKA Moscow is massive.

Zabaleta admitted that City must improve if they are to salvage their Champions League hopes, as well as to hang on to Chelsea's coattails at the top of the league.

"It's another huge game on Wednesday," Zabaleta said. "We were very unlucky the last time we played them. We drew and we were winning 2-0 but obviously it's a crucial point for us.

"We need a win because if not it's going to be very hard to qualify for the next round. A win could get us started.

"We are a much better team than we've shown - and we can do even better."
