James Milner backs Manchester City to "go far" in Champions League

James Milner believes that Manchester City have enough quality to "go far" in the Champions League after reaching the last 16.

James Milner believes that he and his Manchester City teammates are capable of 'going far' in the Champions League after sealing a place in the knockout rounds last night.

Samir Nasri and Pablo Zabaleta scored to give the English champions a 2-0 triumph over Roma at the Stadio Olimpico in Italy.

It is the second consecutive season that they have reached the last 16, but the North-West outfit have not yet progressed further than that stage.

"We will take it step by step but I definitely think the quality is there to go far in this competition," BBC Sport quotes Milner as saying.

"We don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but the more seasons we play in the Champions League, and the more games we play in it, the experience helps and we get better as a team."

City won two, drew two and lost two in the group stage of the tournament.
