Real Madrid and Manchester City will face each other this Tuesday, 9, and Pep Guardiola spoke about what he expects from his team against Ancelotti’s squad
Pep Guardiola recognized the size of Real Madrid before the manchester city try to seek a classification that can be historical in the Champions League. The two teams will face off in the semi-final of the Champions League and the first match will take place this Tuesday, 9th, at the Santiago Bernabéu. Therefore, in a press conference, the coach of the Cityzens made a point of saying that the task of advancing to the next phase will not be the easiest.
The two clubs faced each other in the last edition of the Champions League, and Real Madrid won against Manchester City. On that occasion, the match was set at the Santiago Bernabéu. This season, the orders have reversed, and the Cityzens will have the chance to define the qualification for the decision at the Etihad Stadium. Even so, Guardiola still doesn’t know if this is good news for his squad, but understands that everything will be defined in England.
The difference this year is that the second leg will be at home. I’m not sure if it’s an advantage or a disadvantage, but I think it will all be decided in Manchester“, he stated.
In addition, Pep Guardiola was sincere when commenting on the possibility of Manchester City being champions of the Champions League. The coach believes that day will be near, but he didn’t believe it will be this season. Even so, he warned Real Madrid that the English will go to the Santiago Bernabéu in search of the first step towards making that dream come true.
One day we will. We will reach the final and we will win. We came here this season to do just that. To win this competition you have to beat the best teams and Madrid is the best team in this competition in the last decade“, finished.
