Manchester City are aiming for two wins from two in the Champions League as they host Paris Saint-Germain at the Etihad Stadium

How City stars felt about being called cheats

Dias said that Manchester City players are already used to the reality that 'people don't love us winning' as they look to stay calm amid turmoil for the club. Speaking for the first time since the guilty verdicts, captain Dias backed up the trust that the players have in the hierarchy as everyone hopes for their name to be cleared on appeal.

City have appealed a verdict that found they had cheated to the tune of £900m over nearly a decade and insist they have irrefutable evidence, although a three-man independent panel thought differently. Amid anger at the news, the Blues went to Anfield on Sunday and beat Liverpool 3-0 in their first game back.
