Josep Guardiola answered the journalists' questions on the eve of the match with Shakhtar in the Champions League.

Manchester City will take Shakhtar in the 4th round of the Champions League group stage.

"Every match is important. The most important game for us at the moment is against the Miner ", Guardiola began at the pre-match press conference.

"We lost points in a home match with Lyon, and now for us every match is like a final. Then we will have 3-4 days to prepare for a duel with Manchester United ".

"Personnel losses? Gundogan is ready to play. Otamendi is ready too. Only Kevin de Breine and Elyakim Mangal are injured. ”.

"The chances of winning in the Champions League? While I would like to say that we are able to reach the next stage. We will reach the 1/8 final, if we win the next two matches in our field. A number of big clubs will fly out, so participation in the playoffs is already a serious achievement.. And we will get to the knockout matches in the best possible way ".

"Each Champions League draw is more complicated than previous ones.. Opponents are getting stronger. It's not about the strength of one or another national championship.. Honestly, I can not say whether the Premier League is the strongest championship in Europe ".

"Playing against David Silva is always very difficult.. This is one of the most talented players in the world in terms of finding free space and its skillful use.. We try to play attacking football, move a lot and look for free zones.. There are few equal in this David. When you are inferior to your opponent in physical power, you should always control the ball, act smarter, like David Silva, ”UEFA official website quoted Guardiola.

Match Manchester City - Miner will be held on Wednesday, November 7th. The meeting starts at 22:00.
