Manchester City don't fear Bayern Milner
@LastßornNews(07060428346)The England international played a key
role in a surprise win at the Allianz Arena
for Manuel Pellegrini's men last season
and is upbeat about a rematch with the
Germans
James Milner insists Manchester City have no fear ahead
of their Champions League opener against Bayern
Munich on Wednesday.
Manuel Pellegrini's men and Bayern have met on
four occasions in Europe's elite club competition over
the past three years, with the sides claiming two wins
apiece.
City claimed all three points in their most recent meetin
- a 3-2 victory in December after overturning a two-goal
deficit at the Allianz Arena.
And Milner, who scored the winning goal last time
around, believes that result ss cause for optimism leadin
into this week's Group E fixture in Germany.
"We should know them pretty well now, we've played
them a lot these past couple of years, even in friendlies,
so we know they're a top team," he told reporters.
"You can't do what they've done over the last few years
and have their record in the Champions League without
being a top team, but you want to play against the best
teams and we’ve done that.
"We beat them at their place last year and we should tak
a lot of confidence from that and go into the game with
no fear, knowing we've been there before and got three
points.
"I don't think there's many teams who would have come
back from [being two goals down]..
"It would have been game done, but that shows the
character and the quality we have in the squad, and to
have that mental strength to come back and win the
game is massive."
