Manager admits ‘it’s the trophy we want’ as Manchester City return to action in Thursday’s Caraboa Cup game against Liverpool
City are back in action on Thursday night for the first time since the break in domestic football for the World Cup when they host Liverpool in the Carabao Cup last-16 tie. While five of Liverpool’s squad were in Qatar compared to 16 of City’s, with Julián Álvarez yet to return after being a member of Argentina’s triumphant team, Guardiola has no concerns about a tournament hangover.
“Players who were not at the World Cup and who play can get the rhythm tomorrow so we have to do it with what we have. Step by step they come back – we have six players back [already] and are happy they are back, in general they played really well and had an incredible experience.” Manchester City's Julián Álvarez celebrates Argentina's victory over France in the World Cup Final last Sunday.

Messi’s victory cements his place among the greatest players the game has ever seen. For Guardiola, who won the Champions League twice with Messi at Barcelona, that issue had never been in doubt.
