Cote D’Ivoire midfielder Yaya Toure has urged his Manchester City team-mates to produce their best when they face Italian champions Juventus in UEFA Champions League action on Wednesday night.

The Citizens travel to the Juventus Stadium for an encounter against the Italians, knowing that a win would help them to ensure top spot in Group D.

As it stands Manchester City are top of the group with 9 point, while Juventus trail them by a single point. A win for the English Premier League club would put them out of reach for the last group game, ensuring top spot.

Speaking to the Manchester Evening News ahead of the match with Juve, Toure explained the importance of finishing first in the group in terms of the confidence that it will transmit to the fans and players.

“A couple of years ago, we were in this competition and we didn’t finish in the top two. I think the key is to finish first for the first time and if we could do it with one game to spare, so much the better,” Toure explained.

“I don’t know what will happen in Turin. For us, the target is to finish first and get a kind draw in the Round of 16 and then continue onwards because it’s a target to get as far as we can in this competition. The target of this club this year is try to achieve any trophy possible and we are still going strong in all of them this season,” he added.

Toure went on to say that his team is trying to win all of the competitions that they are involved in, as they believe they are capable of competing with the best.

“We know it will be difficult to win everything, but we’ll be trying as hard as we can because we have the squad, we have the players and I think if everything is right at the right time, we can perform and beat anybody,” the Ivorian international concluded.
