Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini has said that he wants his side to finish as Group C winners in the Champions League.

The Spanish club qualified for the last 16 of Europe's premier club competition with a 1-1 draw with AC Milan at San Siro on Tuesday.

"We have achieved our target after matchday four in a group where some people described us as nothing more than also-rans," said Pellegrini. "We've qualified in a difficult stadium after a difficult match. Now we want to be first in the group.

"We are very happy. When you achieve a goal, it is very satisfying, but we are not content with reaching the knockout phase.

"We want to go as far as our football allows. If a better team beat us because they have more quality then there is nothing we can do."

Malaga are currently at the top of Group C with 10 points from four matches.
