Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan wants to win the UEFA Champions League with Manchester City.

The German knows that it is so important for the Premier League champions to claim European glory.

City have never won the European Cup, and manager Pep Guardiola has not won the competition since leaving Barcelona many years ago.

Gundogan and City face Real Madrid in the round of 16, with the first leg on Wednesday in Spain.

"I don't believe it's going to be my only final - of course," Gundogan told Goal.

"I hope so too. I don't actually have much time, that's why I try to push my team-mates as much as possible.

"But yeah, I'm confident that we have all the opportunities to get to a Champions League final."

He added: "The Champions League is maybe the most prestigious competition in the game and if you don't win it, as much as we are a great team, you feel like there's always something missing.

"Obviously, we try to do our best but it's not something that you can talk about and then it comes. It's something you have to try to achieve."
