There have been a lot of positive things but we must qualify again for the Champions League this season." City could be fifth before the final day of the campaign, should United move into fourth with victory over West Ham at the Boleyn Ground on Tuesday. Pellegrini felt his side deserved to beat Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium but while he couldn't his frustration at them failing to put distance between themselves and United, he has urged his charges to keep their heads up ahead of their final game against Swansea. "We should have won that game, and I think we deserved it. We played very well. Our first 25 minutes were some of the bets here this season. But Arsenal's goals were good," he added."Things are now out of our hands but we will find out on Tuesday. We must keep our heads clean and chins up and try to win our last game. "This is different to the game against Real Madrid. We wanted to reach the Champions League final but it was out first semi-final in that competition.”</blockquote>
