- Manchester City are spending some time in Abu Dhabi after a break in fixtures
- Man City will face Liverpool in the Champions League quarter-final next month
- Leroy Sane believes City can go all the way and win the Champions League
Manchester City are utilising their 19 days between games to train in Abu Dhabi as they look to claim the Champions League along with the Premier League in the final run in.
Pep Guardiola’s side are not in action this weekend after their league game with Brighton was postponed due to the Seagull’s FA Cup involvement.
The league leaders have earned themselves a mid-season break after winning 40 out of 47 games in all competitions this season and will return to action against Everton before their Champions League quarter-final clash with Liverpool.

‘This year, we’re a real strong team, and we understand Pep Guardiola’s philosophy, have improved a lot and know what he wants from us,’ the German said.
‘The Champions League is a really tough tournament and every single game is really special and difficult. But we have a good chance to come to the final and win the Champions League. But it will be really difficult.’
