Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko has insisted that the club want to compete in the Europa League this season.

The Premier League champions have been eliminated from the Champions League after failing to win any of their first five group matches.

However, if they can beat Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night, they could still qualify for the knockout stages of the Europa League and Dzeko is keen to extend their stay in Europe this season.

Dzeko told reporters: "We still have a chance to play in the Europa League. We will do our best to try to win because only if we win can we continue in the Europa League.

"It won't be easy and we have a few players missing but we will do our best because everything is possible in football."

The Bosnian forward has scored seven goals in 15 games for Manchester City this season.
