Manchester City can become the first club to break the £100million prize money barrier if they went on a run to defend their Champions League title. UEFA has again increased the pot for bonus payments through the competition, with last year’s total after winning the showpiece final around £85m. Guardiola has been positive about City’s chances this term, suggesting that last year’s success has given them additional belief. Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden scored as they eased Copenhagen aside on Tuesday night with City now firm favourites to make the last eight. ‘I look around the changing room and still see the determination and hunger – so I don’t see why not.’
