Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expresses his desire for his team to dominate and score goals against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final first leg match.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola giving a press conference on Monday on the eve of City's Champions League quarter-final first leg match against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid.
“We cannot come here just to control the game, we have to come here to try to hurt them, to punish them, to let them know we are here to score the goals,” he said. “We are talking about Real Madrid and their ability to control many aspects of the game. We have to impose our game with who we are. The City manager does not see a repeat of last season’s easy victory. “It’s difficult because beating Real Madrid two times in the same way is almost impossible. Beating them once in this competition is difficult, imagine two in a row. They learn, they have pride, we have to try to be smart with the game we play tomorrow and see what happens in the second leg.”
“He’s had an incredible season in terms of goals, assists, his presence in the box. Not just with Madrid but with the England national team he has been brilliant. At just 20 he has a long career ahead of him.”
