Ilkay Gundogan makes honest admission after crashing out of FA Cup

Ilkay Gundogan admits Manchester City need to improve quickly as they look to strengthen their FA Cup semi-final defeat to Arsenal by progressing in the Champions League. Pep Guardiola's side suffered 2-1 defeat to Arsenal. With two Premier League games remaining and City already assured of a distant second-place finish behind champions Liverpool. A 2-1 win at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid gives City a great chance of making the quarter-finals of the Champions League, with the second leg taking place at the Etihad Stadium on August 7. But Gundogan knows improvement has to be made if the club are to continue their quest for a maiden European Cup. "We have two more league games to play and then we have a big game against Madrid," he told mancity.com. "We should definitely improve because the way we played today won't be enough to go into the next round of the Champions League. We have to improve quite quickly because we don't have much time - we need to try to do our best." Source: Daily Mail
