Manchester City arrived in Turin on Tuesday (24 November) in readiness to face Juventus, with top spot up for grabs in the UEFA Champions League Group D on Wednesday (25 November).

SOUNDBITE (English) Manuel Pellegrini, Man.City Coach:

"As you said it's important to qualify for the first time to the next stage of the Champions League. We have qualified the last two years and I think that is very unlikely to have the same draw against Barcelona. This year I think that is important to be at the top of the group not only to avoid Barcelona or any other important team, but because I think that it's an important test for us tomorrow to try to win in a difficult stadium here in Turin - this would allow us to win the group."

SOUNDBITE (English) Manuel Pellegrini, Man.City Coach:

"No, I think that that always the most difficult thing for the other team is the quality of players that Juventus has and Juventus has a very strong squad. That's way they won the title for several years and they reached the final of the Champions League last year. We know they are not at their best moment here in the domestic football but I'm sure that tomorrow we will find a team team that wants to qualify also first in the group."
