Show me the money, guys - Guardiola expects more from City in Champions League

The reigning Premier League champions have yet to flex their muscles in the Champions League, and the Catalan expects better in 2018-19

Pep Guardiola told Manchester City players to "show me the money, guys" as they prepare to start their Champions League campaign among the tournament's favourites.

City have never progressed further than the semi-finals of the competition, reaching that stage in 2015-16 before losing to eventual champions Real Madrid.

Guardiola's first season in charge saw City eliminated by Monaco in the round of 16 and last term they lost to Premier League rivals Liverpool in the quarter-finals.
