Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says his side "are not ready" to win the Champions League, claiming "the feeling" from their fans that the team must win the competition is missing.

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker is in contention to play in Ukraine having recovered from a groin injury.
The right-back missed Saturday's 5-0 win over Burnley with the problem.
"If they are here it is because they are ready to play," said Guardiola.
Midfielder Ilkay Gundogan remains unavailable because of a hamstring problem and Brazil full-back Danilo is also sidelined having injured an ankle on international duty.
The two sides meet in the groups stages of the competition for the second consecutive season and Shakhtar manager Paulo Fonseca says there are no weak links in the City side.
Fonseca said: "We will need to pay attention to all the players in the City team. They are very strong players and any of them can give us problems.
"We know it is going to be difficult and we will probably have to suffer a bit without the ball, but we will try to find ways to play our game and attack.
"Our principles remain the same, no matter who we play against. It doesn't matter who we are playing against - Manchester City or any other team."
