Micah Richards says the next 12 days will 'make or break' Manchester City's season as he believes Pep Guardiola's side are entering into a 'horrible sequence' of matches.
Manchester City are due to take on Atletico Madrid and Liverpool on multiple occasions in the Champions League, Premier League and finally the FA Cup.
Richards doesn't think they will win all four games, but says City must beat Atletico as success on the European stage is 'the most important thing' this season.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Richards said: 'The next 12 days will make or break Manchester City's season - and they face a run of fixtures that I am excited about, but dreading at the same time.
