City will take on Monaco today for their Round-of-16 second leg clash. They won the first leg 5-3. City knocked out Dynamo Kiev and PSG to reach the last-four stage during the last season, winning a knockout game in the competition for the first time. They lost to eventual winners Real Madrid in the last four clash.
"I think it was important as a team to make the next step," De Bruyne said.
"City have had a difficult time in Europe, which is new for this club, but last year we did great in the Champions League. I think we now have to try to emulate that. We had a really difficult group last year and then we had to play PSG and Real Madrid, but I don’t think this year has been any easier.
"I think that when you play at the highest level, you’re always playing in big matches whether it’s in the Premier League, the cups, the Champions League or at international level," De Bruyne said
"I think we can reach the final, but of course the other teams will think the same and that doesn’t make it easier," he added.
