Manchester City midfield maestro Ilkay Gundogan has revealed which tournament is more important to him between the Premier League and the Champions League.

City could potentially win four trophies this season and claim an unprecedented quadruple, as they have already won the Carabao Cup, currently sit top of the Premier League are into the FA Cup quarter finals and are 3-2 up after the first leg against Schalke in the Champions League last-16.

Even though Guardiola continues to play down City's chances of sweeping up all four trophies, a team has certainly never been in a better place to win all four competitions.

Gundogan, who played his 100th game for City in the 1-0 victory over Bournemouth, has revealed which one of the four is the "greatest" in a wide-ranging exclusive interview with the Daily Mirror.

“For me, the Champions League is the greatest thing, to win it is the ­greatest thing that can happen to you as a ­footballer. Maybe that’s because I’ve already lost a final when I was at Dortmund," the German said.

Gundogan was a key member of the Borussia Dortmund side that made it to the 2013 Champions League final at Wembley against Bayern Munich.

He scored in the final, too, bringing his side level from the penalty spot after Mario Mandzukic opened the scoring. But a late Arjen Robben winner earned Bayern the trophy in heartbreaking fashion.

“Our team now is so much better than the team we had at Dortmund at that time. It felt realistic at that time to achieve it but everyone knows how difficult it is to reach the final and then win it. It’s so tough," the 28-year-old continuted.

“But if you want to be the best, then, in my opinion, you have to win the Champions League."

“If you win the Champions League and they talk about you then they use the word ‘best.’ If you want to become the best in Europe you have to win the Champions League, that is fact."
