Pep Guardiola has conceded his time as Manchester City manager cannot be considered 'complete' until he helps the club win the Champions League.
The Sky Blues, despite their success in domestic competitions, have failed to win Europe's elite competition under the stewardship of Roberto Mancini, Manuel Pellegrini and Guardiola. City reached the semi-final of the Champions League in 2015/16, last season and the final in 2020/21 but the biggest trophy of all continues to eldue them.
A number of first-team players have spoken of their desire to help the club achieve glory in this tournament, with Guardiola also desperate to deliver this title. The Catalan coach recently signed a new contract to keep him at the Etihad until 2025 and has only one focus in mind for the coming years.
