Pep Guardiola says he will be viewed as a failure as Manchester City boss if he does not win the Champions League during his time at the club.
City take a 2-1 aggregate lead to Borussia Dortmund for the second leg of their quarter-final tie on Wednesday.
They have not reached the semi-finals under Guardiola, going out in the last eight for the last three seasons.
"I know if we don't win I'll be a failure and if we do it's 'how good is Pep'," said Guardiola.
Their agenda is boosted by the absence of Dortmund's Jadon Sancho from the second leg, with the England and ex-City forward still recovering from the thigh injury that prevented him playing in the first leg.
However, the German side's away goal at the Etihad means they would advance with a 1-0 win on home soil and Guardiola is urging his side to focus on their plan rather than worry about the permutations.
The winners will play Paris St-Germain in the two-legged semi-final after PSG, managed by former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, edged out reigning holders Bayern Munich.
The German side won 1-0 in the second leg in France on Tuesday, but lost on the away-goals rule after it finished 3-3 on aggregate following PSG's 3-2 win in the first leg.
