Major clubs to have never won the Champions League or the Europa League

6) Manchester City

Can Manchester City win it this season?

Current heavyweights of English football, Manchester City’s European pedigree is restricted to winning the UEFA Cup Winners Cup of 1970. City beat Polish side Gornik Zabrze in the final in Vienna with goals from Neil Young and future club chairman Francis Lee.

But decline would soon follow and the English side would not compete in Europe for 24 years starting from the mid-seventies. Even when oil money transformed City into one of the best clubs in England, their UEFA Champions League expeditions were always brief, getting eliminated in the group stages or the first knock-out round.

However, the Citizens are in the semi-finals if this year’s edition, with a tie against European aristocrats Real Madrid waiting. Can Aguero and co. translate City’s national domination into Europe?
