James Milner targets Bayern Munich, Roma scalps

Manchester City's James Milner insists that the Blues can beat Bayern Munich and Roma to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League.

James Milner has rallied his Manchester City teammates to beat Bayern Munich and Roma to boost their chances of progressing into the last 16 of the Champions League.

Manuel Pellegrini's side sit bottom of Group E after picking up just two points from their first four European outings of the season.

It was a 2-1 home defeat to CSKA Moscow last time out that plunged their qualification hopes into further doubt, but victories in their final two games could see them salvage a place in the knockout stages.

"It's two games - win them both and we're through. We can do that," Milner told reporters.

"We went to Bayern last year and beat them in their own backyard and it's important that we get the three points."

The Citizens host Bayern at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, before travelling to the Italian capital for another must-win game at Roma two weeks later.
