The Brazilian has now scored six goals in six matches since arriving at Eastlands.

Robinho, City's record signing, said: "The main objective is for the team to do well but personally, I want to score more than 30 goals.

"I am very happy but not completely happy because I still have a lot to learn.

"I will be truly happy at the end when we finish what I hope will be a good season.

"The Champions League is our goal.

"The Premier League is very competitive and it'll be very difficult to get into the top four.

"But I believe in the team and I think we can get there."

City manager Mark Hughes was full of praise for the former Real Madrid ace, adding: "Robinho is key to what we are trying to do here and maybe in the past he has not had that feeling. He is responding in a really positive way.

"The crowd adore what he is producing and rightly so. He has a really close relationship with everyone here, which shows what an impact he has made here in a very short space of time."
