David Silva: 'Manchester City can win Champions League'

David Silva has insisted that Manchester City are capable of winning the Champions League this season.

Roberto Mancini's side will take on Napoli tomorrow evening in the knowledge that a victory will guarantee their progression to the last 16 of the competition.

Spanish midfielder Silva, who was rested for Saturday's win over Newcastle United, believes that his side have a chance of lifting the trophy next May.

"We must finish in the top four in the Premier League and secure Champions League football every season," Silva told Champions magazine.

"It's not enough just to do it once. Of course, we've got to do well in the Champions League and we should aim to win it.

"Why not? I don't think that is out of the question."

Silva, 25, joined City in 2010 from Valencia.
