Manchester City forward Bernardo Silva scored in the first leg victory over Basel

The runaway Premier League leaders are 4-0 ahead going into their second leg at home to Basel on Wednesday night.

That’s not necessarily a safe scoreline though.

Paris Saint-Germain lost to Barcelona last year in the last 16 having won the first leg by the same margin.

And City attacker Bernardo Silva knows his side need to be on top of their game if they are to avoid a catastrophic upset. Pep Guardiola's men are hunting a treble

Bernardo told the Manchester City official website: “In my opinion, Champions League games are never easy, but of course, when you win by 4-0 in the first round away, you’ve always a good advantage especially because now we are playing at home with our fans’ support.

“We’ll face the challenge with maximum confidence and stay focused, with the intention to win again.”

Manchester City beat Chelsea 1-0 at the weekend and now sit 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola's men could win the league in the Manchester derby with Manchester United travelling to the Etihad on April 7.
 
Manchester City have been boosted by the return of three key men ahead of their Champions League clash with Basel

That would double City’s current trophy tally for the season, having already clinched the Carabao Cup.

And Bernardo knows his side are within touching distance of their third Premier League title in six years.

He added: “We know we have been doing a good job so far this season, that we won the League Cup and are in a good place in the Champions League and that we are also still fighting for the Premier League trophy.

“Each game we are a little closer, therefore the confidence and the team’s spirit is really high and we are ready to face the upcoming weeks of this season, with maximum determination and ambition.”
