Manchester City winger Jesus Navas reveals that the team's top priority this season is to win the Champions League for the first time in the club's history.

Manchester City winger Jesus Navas has claimed that the team's main target this season is to win the Champions League.

The Blues clinched their second Premier League title in three years last season, but they were beaten by Barcelona in the last 16 of Europe's elite club competition.

However, Navas is hopeful that he and his City teammates can go all the way to the final in the tournament this season.

"We have got the quality in the squad to win the Premier League and hopefully the Champions League as well. It would be great to win the title again but obviously the Champions League is the target this year," he told the Manchester Evening News.

"We went past the group stage of the Champions League last season so the aim is to go as far as we possibly can.

"The Premier League is still very important but winning the Champions League would be a dream come true. Obviously we need to aim higher and the Champions League is the next step."

Manchester City are back in pre-season action on Sunday when they meet AC Milan in Pittsburgh.
