Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has called on the fans to push the club to Champions League glory ahead of their clash with Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday night.

City head into the game sitting second in Group F, one point behind leaders Lyon after two games as they seek to reach the knock-out rounds for a sixth successive year.

The Premier League champions have never got beyond the last four and were eliminated in the quarter-finals last season by Liverpool, losing 5-1 on aggregate. Guardiola was recently quoted as saying he did not know if City were ready to win the Champions League yet, but has asked the fans to help them push for the European trophy.

Elaborating on those comments on Monday, Guardiola said: "We are going to put in all effort to win this competition, but from what I saw last season we are not ready, that's what I feel. That doesn't mean we are not going to try.

"It's one important thing to win this kind of title, you have to be pushed, not just by the manager, by everyone surrounding Manchester City that we have to win it - and still we don't have that feeling, the feeling that the fans are pushing that we have to win the Champions League.

"Normally what happens is you get closer, that's why I feel we are a really good team, it's a pleasure to work with them. But in this competition you need something special and still I don't feel it."

Guardiola says Kyle Walker is in contention to face Shakhtar after injury. The England full-back missed Saturday's 5-0 Premier League win over Burnley with a groin problem but could be involved in Ukraine.

Kevin De Bruyne could also start the Champions League Group F clash having played the final half-hour at the weekend. Guardiola added: "If they are here it is because they are ready to play."
