FORGET THE GOOD OLD DAYS

City star insists: How we deal with the current crisis will be our legacy... not the glory times

- SIMON MULLOCK

RUBEN DIAS believes Manchester City are facing a challenge that will define their legacy even more than the Treble and their four-in-a-row title triumph.

City go into a Champions League clash against Juventus having won just one of their last nine games and their hopes of avoiding a play-off to reach the last 16 hanging in the balance.

Now, Dias has issued a rallying cry, insisting that how the Blues respond to the biggest crisis of Pep Guardiola's coaching career will mean more than the 18 trophies they have won in his eight-and-a-half-year reign.

Dias said: "It doesn't matter how much you've accomplished, more will be demanded. As long as your legs allow you, that's what you want to strive for. Keep pushing yourself.
