Vincent Kompany has said that Manchester City's challenge for the Premier League title has highlighted the rapid progress the club has made in recent years.
The Belgian defender also said that the Citizens are hungry to win silverware in every competition.
City find themselves five points behind rivals Manchester United with seven games remaining.
"It's all about winning trophies ultimately," the Daily Express quotes Kompany as saying. "That's the only thing we want. Not just one trophy, but everything, and that's what we have to play for every single year and we're getting the club to that stage.
"For three or four years now we have always improved, this year we've improved again. And hopefully we can win the title.
"If not, which I don't count on, we'll be there, we'll keep improving next season and it should be there soon."
The 25-year-old joined City from Hamburg in 2008.
