He believes that qualifying for the Champions League would be a deserved reward for their efforts throughout the season.
He said, “I think presently nothing but the Champions League. Presently, we are out of the FA Cup after going through a long one.
“I broke my nose in the midst of it as well, got knocked out in the semi-final (Nottingham Forest 0-2 Manchester City).
