Manchester City captain admits there are no excuses this season

It is the itch that the new Manchester City have been unable to scratch. Since the 2008 takeover and the heavy investment that followed, two Premier League trophies have been lifted, along with an FA Cup and a Capital One Cup.
But success in the Champions League remains elusive at the Etihad Stadium — and for captain Vincent Kompany there are no excuses in the need to improve on back-to-back, last-16 exits at the hands of Barcelona.
 
Speaking ahead of tonight's European opener against last year's beaten finalists Juventus, the Belgian declared: 'We have to be better. It cannot be what it was in the previous years.

Manager Manuel Pellegrini spent £135million in the summer on Raheem Sterling, Kevin de Bruyne, Fabian Delph and Nicolas Otamendi.

Kompany believes the squad, four points clear at the top of the Premier League, is the strongest it has been since he arrived at the club and can now challenge the likes of Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
 
'Early signs would say so but experience would teach you to be careful,' he said. 'It was exactly what we needed. Those teams are not just the best because they have a better chance or colours, they have been working on the squad for so many years, attracting the best players.'
