Roberto Mancini thinks that it is "important" for Manchester City to finish the season with silverware.

Roberto Mancini is confident that Manchester City can secure two trophies this season, despite an early exit from the Champions League.

The North West side were knocked out of the elite tournament in the group phase, but the Italian boss remains upbeat on City's chances of silverware.

"We are disappointed [to be out of the Champions League], that is normal," said Mancini. "We wanted to go into the second stage and now we can do nothing.

"It is my opinion next year, that if we play Champions League, we will do better. I am sure we will improve, but it is important to finish well this year. When I say finish well this year, I mean to maybe win two trophies."

The FA Cup holders are currently five points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
