Pep Guardiola insists Manchester City believe they can repeat last season's heroics and defend the Champions League

Pep Guardiola claims that belief is coursing through Manchester City that they can defend the Champions League this season.

Although the City boss last week maintained they only have a 0.01 per cent chance of repeating the Treble, he talked up their prospects in Europe ahead of facing Copenhagen in the last 16 on Tuesday.

City have reached at least the semi-finals in each of the last three years, final getting their hands on the trophy last June, and Guardiola is convinced they can do it again.

‘When I arrived eight years ago I had the feeling maybe this competition was too much for us,’ Guardiola said.
