Already confirming their passage into the knock out stages of Champions League doesn’t make Manchester City delightful as they still have another mission, which is securing the first place finish in their group.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men can do that by picking up maximum points on their midweek battle against Juventus, that’s why the tactician ensured that his players will be pushing for a win this Wednesday.

Pellegrini stated to the media that finishing as group winner is essential for their potential progress in that competition, since advancing as runners up means Man City can once again face Barcelona.

Moreover, the tactician also added that grabbing a win against Juventus in Turin can also serve as an important step for City in showcasing their pedigree in European football.
