Speaking ahead of Manchester City's FA Cup fourth round game against Cheltenham Town on Saturday, the City boss was asked for his view on a European Super League.

"I have the feeling we cannot lose the local leagues, what it means for the FA Cup, the leagues," the Catalan coach stated.

"What we should do is make every single league in Europe stronger than what it is, less teams, better championships, better League One, better League Two, better Premier League with less teams in every competition. Go to the quality over quantity". concluded the City boss.
