City resume their Champions League journey by hosting Angolan side Petro de Luanda in the first leg of the competition’s second preliminary round at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday . The return leg is in Luanda next Friday. The winner of this tie will secure a slot in the group stages. “I believe Lyle will be vital for us in the Champions League. He’s played more Champions League games than any player here, so automatically having such a player is a plus. Champions League games usually require mental toughness more than tactics and Lyle is a player who’s mentally strong ... we will benefit from him,” Mkhize said.

“Yes, Petro have Hugo and it’s likely that he will tell them information about how we play but we’re not concerned because we also have a gameplan,” noted the City skipper.
