Manchester City players are determined to make history in the Premier League after their Champions League disappointment, says Phil Foden.
The Citizens were kicked out of Europe by Real Madrid over two legs after losing a penalty shootout, with the two legs being tied at 4-4.
However, Foden believes that defeat will be fuel for Manchester for the rest of the EPL season, as they also have an FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea this weekend.
Speaking to The Mail, Foden said: “We know if we win the Premier League this time we will have done something new. It’s something we have our eyes on.
“Every time we put our boots on at the training ground that saying is there on the wall.
“It says: “Nobody has won four Premier Leagues in a row…yet”.
“We want to put ourselves in history.
“Every day I sit and look at that slogan and I think: ‘Why not?’.”
“My story is nice isn’t it?,” added Foden on his rise.
“I played in every age group.
“I am so happy for myself, the club and the younger players in the academy.
“It probably does all mean a little bit more to me and yeh there has been pressure.
“I had to become an adult at a very young age. I had to listen to a lot of people saying a lot of different things. He’s not playing enough. He should go on loan.
“I mean I had Kevin [De Bruyne] and David [Silva] in front of me back then. I knew I didn’t deserve to play.
“But now I want to be a role model for this academy and younger kids in my area. I tell them to never stop loving football. Because if you love it you will never be afraid of the hard work.
“Hopefully young players look at me and think: “If Phil did it then why can’t I do it?”
