Guardiola adamant Man City will eventually break Champions League curse

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes the club will break their Champions League curse eventually after the Premier League side were knocked out of the competition at the quarter-final stages for a third straight season.

Despite being strong favourites against Lyon, City struggled to against their French opponents on Saturday, with two late goals from Moussa Dembele ensuring Rudi Garcia's side triumphed 3-1.

Aside from the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1970, Manchester City have never won a continental piece of silverware with Guardiola so far unable to break that drought.
