Man City don't have extra incentive to win Champions League, says Guardiola

The Hindu  

Manchester City will treat its Champions League knockout tie against Sporting Lisbon just like any other fixture despite the disappointment of a runner-up finish in last season's tournament, manager Pep Guardiola said on Monday. Guardiola has led City to three league titles since taking over in 2016, though it is yet to win the Champions League, coming closest after reaching the final in June last year, in which it was beaten by Chelsea. RELATED | "I know how important the Champions League is, but we take every Premier League game just as seriously, we saw how tough Norwich City was. Guardiola heaped praise on opponent Sporting, which secured qualification for the Champions League knockout stages for the first time since 2008-09 after navigating its way through a tricky group featuring Borussia Dortmund and Ajax Amsterdam.
