Manuel Pellegrini: 'Manchester City will fight to stay in the Champions League'

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has insisted that his team will "fight to the end" to keep their Champions League hopes alive.

The Blues welcome Bayern Munich to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday knowing that they need to win in order to boost their prospects of reaching the last 16.

Pellegrini admits that City have not performed to their full potential in this season's competition, but the Chilean is hopeful that his side can seize their "last chance" in Group E.

"It is important for this club to do well in Europe," he told reporters. "Tomorrow the team will fight to the end to continue in the Champions League. Nobody - not me nor the team - is happy with the way we've played this group stage, and we have a last chance."

Sergio Aguero and Stevan Jovetic have both been passed fit for the match after missing training on Monday.
