Manchester City's James Milner: 'We can cope with tough Champions League draw'

Manchester City midfielder James Milner has insisted that he and his teammates are "good enough" to overcome tough opposition in the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

The English champions will discover today who they will face in the round of 16 after securing their place in the draw following a 2-0 win over Roma in midweek.

After finishing as runners-up to Bayern Munich in Group E, Manuel Pellegrini's side could face Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Porto or Monaco in the next round.

"The draws haven't been too kind to us, but whatever you get thrown at you you have to deal with that," the Daily Star quotes Milner as saying. "We seem to get the same team year on year. I'm guessing we'll get Barcelona again.

"They're all top teams at this stage and we'll see what the draw throws up, but we know we can beat anyone on our day and are good enough to do that."

The draw will take place in Nyon from 11am UK time.
