Manchester City captain Fernandinho admits the Champions League is an obsession for the club.
The one thing missing from City's bulging trophy cabinet is the Champions League — which has eluded them despite ten seasons of trying.
Liverpool managed to win it in 2019 but Fernandinho believes City's failure to lift it so far should not take away from what they have achieved. A total of 13 major trophies since the first one of the modern era arrived in 2011 is an impressive haul.
And Fernandinho told The Sun: “The Champions League is an obsession for any team competing for this trophy — and for City it is no different.
“The players, backroom team, staff, our supporters, all of us would love to win it — but success in the Champions League doesn't define us.
“Nor will it define our work as a team. Our hard work and dedication in these last five years shows who City really are."
