Press conference with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola ahead of their Champions League play-off match against Real Madrid. He says that even though this game is coming in the knockout stages, he still sees Madrid as the kings of Europe. He notes that every time the sides have met, the winner has gone on to win the tournament. He says there is no animosity between the sides after Madrid didn’t send a delegation to the Ballon d’Or in protest against Vinícius Júnior missing out on the prize to City’s Rodri. He says he accepts City are the underdogs and discusses how close his team is to getting back to their best form—saying they need to rediscover their consistency. He also speaks about how highly he rates Madrid’s frontline with the addition of Kylian Mbappé this season and the key to combatting them, whether he’s happy to be playing the first leg of the tie at home, and how much winning the tie could lift confidence for the rest of the season. Despite their inconsistency, he’s sure his side will be able to put in a performance tomorrow.
SPANISH SECTION
He talks about the rivalry between his Barcelona side and Madrid compared to the developing rivalry between City and Madrid, whether he believes Madrid are consistent this season, and whether he was surprised they didn’t strengthen in January. He also discusses whether he’s more concerned with containing their attacking four than exploiting the fact they are missing players in their defensive line, whether he thinks the team that defends the best will go through, whether he ever feels like he’s fighting to keep his job, and whether he feels more comfortable as a favorite or an underdog.
