We need to win more trophies and get into the habit of winning these competitions because it will make us stronger as a team."Of course, we will now be playing matches on a Thursday which is closer to the weekend and obviously not ideal, but it is the same for everyone in the Europa League."The City boss insists his team will fare better next season after the experiences of this campaign, and learn from their Champions League experience in what proved to be a tough group.
