'We have the team to do it' - Aymeric Laporte makes bold Man City claim

Aymeric Laporte has claimed Manchester City are one of the best teams in the world and that they can win every trophy still up for grabs.

City currently find themselves top of the Premier League, in a strong position in the Champions League after defeating Sporting CP 5-0 in the first leg of their last-16 tie and are still vying for FA Cup glory.

Laporte told City Mag that there is a key factor behind their positive results.

"We have been doing amazingly well over the past few months and we need to keep that going until the end of the season,” he said.

"Our strength, as I say, is that we are really consistent and hopefully we can give the Premier League to our fans at the end of the season.

"We are not thinking about the title yet. I think we are too close to our opponents in second. We have to stay focused, keep winning games and we must try not to drop points like we did against Southampton recently.

"This is the way.

"There is no secret [to our form]. Hard work and then we have a fantastic team with fantastic players. Everyone plays very well.

"I think we are one of the best teams in the world right now. We will push to win everything and we have the team do it.”

City return to Premier League action on Saturday when they host Antonio Conte's Tottenham Hotspur.
