Roberto Mancini is now targeting Champions League glory after winning Manchester City's first league title for 44 years.

The Italian, who has now won silverware in back-to-back seasons for the Citizens, said that winning is a habit, but believes that it will take more to win the Champions League.

"[Champions League] is the next step," said Mancini. "The first year was the FA Cup, the second the Premier League, and I hope the third will be the Champions League. But we have to improve a lot. Still, I have the sensation that we could do it.

"Once you have started to win and you know how to do it, many things follow as a consequence. We have started a cycle of success but to win the Champions League it will take more."

Mancini has been at the helm since December 2009.
