TEAMtalk<\/span><\/a> : \u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Joleon Lescott does not expect Manchester City’s Champions League demise to damage their pursuit of other honours this season.<\/p>\n

City’s first Champions League campaign ended at the first hurdle on Wednesday as they failed to advance from the group stage despite beating Bayern Munich in their final fixture.<\/p>\n

That was an undoubted blow for the ambitious club but their season is still well on course to end with huge success.<\/p>\n

City are five points clear at the top of the Premier League and have a Carling Cup semi-final to prepare for next month.<\/p>\n

They will also now compete in the Europa League while their FA Cup defence will begin with a clash against rivals Manchester United in four weeks’ time.<\/p>\n

Lescott said: “This won’t come into it.<\/p>\n

“We haven’t focused on our Premier League form after Champions League games, we have just taken each game as it comes.<\/p>\n

“There is importance in every game we play and we are still in four competitions.<\/p>\n

“Obviously with the Champions League, it would have been nice to qualify, but the Europa League would still sit comfortably on the mantelpiece.”<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
