Sergio Aguero sets sights on Champions League as Manchester City look to build worldwide reputation
Manchester City hero Sergio Aguero is hungry to win the Champions League and claims success if essential to building the club’s prestige.
The Argentine’s injury-time winner at the end of a dramatic Premier League finale clinched the Blues’ first title since 1968 and he is eager to add the European Cup to that.
But City will have to improve upon their maiden campaign last season after being eliminated in the group stage.
"That was the first league title I have won in my career – now I want to win more," Aguero said in an interview with The Times.
"It is important for the club that we do well in the Champions League next season. That is crucial if we are to show we are a power on the world stage.
"I just want to keep winning next season."
Building a squad that plays in unison would help Roberto Mancini, said Aguero, but he insisted that problems within the camp have been exaggerated despite the manager putting out fires with Mario Balotelli and Carlos Tevez.
Aguero said: "We have always stood together. There is no problem with the squad, no lack of cohesion, anything like that. We are not fighting all the time.

"There is great spirit between the players. There is no better proof of that than what happened at the end of the season."
Speaking about his title-winning winner, he said: "Scoring [the winner] was the best moment of my career, of course."
