SUNSPORT answers the key questions on Manchester City's chances of winning the Champions League this season.
IS THE SQUAD UP TO IT?
CITY'S squad is envied around Europe and even Barcelona wanted to avoid them in the group stages.
But what they don't have is Champions League experience as a team — that's how the regulars make it look so easy — in what is a tough group.
YES OR NO? NO
THE RIGHT BOSS FOR EURO GLORY?
ROBERTO MANCINI won trophies for fun when he was a boss in Italy — but he always came up short in this competition.
Ultimately, it cost him his job at Inter and his successor, Jose Mourinho, showed him how it should be done.
NO
DO THEY NEED TEVEZ?
WELL, the Argentine does have a Champions League winners medal so knows what it takes to be successful in it.
But City have done just fine without him in the league with Aguero, Dzeko and Balotelli all banging them in. If they stay fit, it will be 'Carlos who?'
NO
DO CITY HAVE TOO MANY EGOS?
THERE are plenty of those, as City know from what happened with Carlos Tevez in Munich.
But Mancini is a strong manager and has already shown he is willing to take a hardline approach with the likes of Tevez and fellow sulking striker Edin Dzeko.
NO
