The victory was not enough to push Manuel Pellegrini’s side through ahead of the Germans in the group at the time, but it has served as a boost for their players.
Milner is one of the stars to have been buoyed by past events, and the England international insists that he and his team-mates are not scared of Pep Guardiola’s outfit:
“We should know them pretty well now, we’ve played them a lot these past couple of years, even in friendlies, so we know they’re a top team,” he is quoted by Goal.
“You can’t do what they’ve done over the last few years and have their record in the Champions League without being a top team, but you want to play against the best teams and we’ve done that.
“We beat them at their place last year and we should take a lot of confidence from that and go into the game with no fear, knowing we’ve been there before and got three points.
“I don’t think there’s many teams who would have come back from [being two goals down].
“It would have been game done, but that shows the character and the quality we have in the squad, and to have that mental strength to come back and win the game is massive.”
