Kevin De Bruyne has admitted Manchester City must win the Champions League to be viewed as an elite club.
City, who lost last year's final to Chelsea, lead Real Madrid 4-3 going into Wednesday's semi-final second leg at the Bernabeu. The City playmaker acknowledged there will always be a question mark against Pep Guardiola's side until they manage to be crowned European champions.
"I think it would change the perspective from outside," said De Bruyne. "As a player, you want to win trophies and we want to win this one. The fact we've been fighting for numerous years and getting to the latter stages means we've been doing really well.
