While the Republic of Ireland defender is keen to get more Premier League points on the board Europe continues to excite him.

City will face a Danish side for the third time in the competition with Aalborg barring their way to the quarter-finals. Dunne said: "The UEFA is a long competition but both the players and the fans are enjoying it."

He added: "It's a great opportunity, our only one of winning a trophy this season. We have to believe in ourselves, that we can win it.

"We've been on runs in the FA Cup before and thought that it could be our year, then we've gone out. But if we can get past Aalborg, let's see where we can go from there.

"Some clubs seem to look on it as inconvenient and rest players, but for us it's an opportunity we want to take advantage of.

"It's exciting to play abroad, even if it seems to be Denmark most of the time! But we have to make sure the opportunity doesn't pass us by."

Aalborg managed to get a draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Champions League this season and Dunne expects a difficult encounter.

"We've played two teams from Denmark now and we're getting familiar with the style, " he told the club's official website, www.mcfc.co.uk.

"Aalborg have dropped down from the Champions League and will have that bit more quality. But we believe that if we play well, we can beat them. Then if we get to the last eight, it gets really interesting."
