Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini believes "anything is possible" for his side in the Champions League after their 3-0 win at Villarreal.Two goals from Yaya Toure and a Mario Balotelli penalty gave City three points and a win in Napoli would seal their progress from the group stage.Mancini said: "If we make the knockout stages then anything can happen because we're a good team."We are going very well and want to improve if possible."City's debut Champions League campaign started slowly, with a draw at home to Napoli followed by a 2-0 defeat at Bayern Munich, which was soured by a row with striker Carlos Tevez.But Mancini's side have won seven games in a row in all competitions since then and were never troubled as they swept past Villarreal."I enjoyed this performance," added Mancini.Cannot play media.
