Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has scoffed at critics of their Champions League record.
The Spaniard has won eight major trophies, including three Premier League titles, in his six years as manager at the Etihad Stadium but Europe's elite club prize has so far eluded him.
His side did reach the final last season but were beaten by Chelsea.
“If people believe it's a failure to not win the Champions League we have to accept it," said Guardiola, who was a two-time winner during his time as Barcelona boss.
“When everyone says that, I have to accept it. If ones say that 'Pep has not accomplished it completely', I have to accept it.
“But we know (about) winning and the people have to know, I was incredibly happy here. And they are jealous, so I'm sorry."
