LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini called on his players to respond to their FA Cup exit on Sunday by overhauling Barcelona this week and Premier League rivals Chelsea by the end of the season.

City, who had been aiming for an unprecedented quadruple of trophies after securing the English League Cup last weekend, were dumped out of the FA Cup in a 2-1 quarter-final defeat by second-tier Wigan Athletic at the City of Manchester Stadium.
