Pep Guardiola insists he is not obsessed about adding to his two Champions League triumphs.

Guardiola tasted Champions League glory twice at Barcelona , but failed to win it at Bayern Munich and has so far failed to deliver the trophy at Manchester City , despite winning two Premier League titles, two League Cups and one FA Cup.

Success in Europe is the next step for Guardiola and his domestic-dominating City squad.

But on the eve of their second group game against Dinamo Zagreb, the Spaniard played down the importance of delivering the Champions League.

"I want to win it but if I don’t, it will not change my life," said Guardiola. "I'm not going to kill myself.

"In my first press conference, it was the same question - you are here to win the Champions League.

"I spoke to Ferran [Soriano, City chief executive] and Khaldoon [Al Mubarak, chairman] and they didn’t tell me that.

"It's impossible to arrive and do it without the feeling that we want to do it.

"We tried the first season, we tried the second season when we were up for four competitions.

"I would be happier, but it wouldn't change anything in my private life."

Asked if European success was the next step for City, having dominated English football for the past two seasons, Guardiola said: "Yeah, definitely, but sometimes it cannot be possible.

"Sometimes you take a few years and sometimes you take one year. Barcelona is my club in my heart and 1992 was the first one [European Cup] and Barcelona was born a long time ago.

"The important games, the decisions, many games, the influence. But I'm sorry, I'm not going to live the next 10 months thinking if I don’t win the Champions League it would be a disaster, because my life is quite good."
