Want to qualify for Champions League quarter-final: Guardiola

IANS  |  Manchester 

Manchester City chief coach Pep Guardiola said he wants the club to qualify for the Champions League quarter-final before winning the English League (EPL) title.

Manchester City are currently on top of the EPL table with 28 points from 10 matches.

However, Guardiola feels it is not possible for the club to win the EPL title by January and wants to concentrate on the next fixtures of his club.

"We want to try to win against Arsenal in our League game next Sunday at home and we want to try to qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday (against Napoli). That is our next target," the 46-year-old was quoted saying by The Independent.

The Spaniard also said there are many things which he wants to rectify in the side despite having a perfect start to the season.

"Of course there is a lot more to come. We have won 5-1, 6-0 and 7-2 and this was 3-2, so there is a lot more to come. In football there are many things to get right," Guardiola said.
