Manuel Pellegrini: Man City can still advance in Champions League
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini does not accept his side
are outsiders to progress from their Champions League group.
City were held to a 2-2 draw against CSKA Moscow
on Tuesday despite taking a 2-0 lead in the first half.
The result leaves Pellegrini's side still without a win from their opening three games in Group E.
"We have nine points left to play for, of course we can still qualify," Pellegrini told the club's website.
"After we've played for those nine points, we'll see how many we have."
City are third after three games with their remaining matches at home to CSKA Moscow and Bayern Munich before a trip to Roma.
"Football is 95 minutes, it's not just the first half," Pellegrini added after seeing his side surrender a two-goal lead in Moscow.
"We played very well in the first half, we scored two goals and had many more clear chances to score.
"CSKA are a good team and if you give them space, they can be very dangerous."
