After securing their place in the Champions League play-off round, Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji expressed confidence in the team's ability to defeat any opponent in Europe. Following a 3-1 victory over Club Brugge, which was crucial to avoid elimination, Akanji acknowledged the club's inconsistent form this season yet maintained optimism as they face tough rivals like Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the knockout rounds. The team aims to overcome recent disappointing results and is ready for the upcoming challenges in the tournament.
"Obviously we wish we would have made it to the top eight but we couldn't change it. [Bayern and Real] are not the teams you want to face but whoever it is we're looking forward to the challenge and I think we can beat every team in Europe."
"Obviously we had a couple of results that were way under our expectations, so we had to win to get into the next round. That wasn't the way that we wanted it to be but here we are right now and I'm still confident we can beat whoever comes next."
