Man City need to take Champions League 'anger' into Juventus clash

Manchester City skipper Vincent Kompany feels that his team needs to take the anger of successive Champions League failures into the clash with Juventus on Tuesday.


City have failed to live up to expectations in the last few seasons of the continental competition and have come up short against the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Napoli, Ajax and, last season, even CSKA Moscow.

Kompany said: "The Dortmund game and those kind of games were a different era and I don't think you can bring them in, but certainly last season against Moscow was disappointing as well.

"It is about finding the confidence we have in the Premier League and bringing it into the Champions League.

"If we are not confident tomorrow after what we have done so far, then we will never be confident. The same goes for what we have experienced.

"We are really determined and hungry in the Premier League after what happened last season. The same goes for the Champions League.

"We are disappointed and frustrated from many seasons before. We need to take that anger or that desire or that energy into tomorrow's game. It is so important."
