Manchester City Director of Football Txiki Begiristain stated that the club will be hoping to progress to the quarter finals of the Champions League.

City have received a relatively favorable round of 16 draw, as they will take on RB Leipzig over two legs.

City will be away from home for the first leg, before getting to finish off the tie at home.

Begiristain, who believes the team can win the Champions League this term, stated to club media: "Expectations are always high. Ourselves, we are demanding a lot about ourselves. So we know we have to try.

"We have been now in a final, in another semi-final, we want to be there.

"But, again, it has to be step by step. But we are happy with the team, as of course with Pep and his staff.

"They are doing very well. The squad is doing well. Let's see what happens now."
