The head coach of the “townspeople” commented after the fight against Madrid.
Manchester City beat Real Madrid again and made it to the quarter of the Champions League. Josep Guardiola was pleased with his team and takes his next opponent very seriously - Lyon.
" It is important. We're here to win the Champions League. So far we've only taken one step. If we consider that this is enough, then we will show our weakness.. If you intend to win, then you need to beat the giants.
I spoke to the scouts of our club (about Lyon), and they advised me to keep my ears open. We have eight days to prepare. Now let's rejoice at this success and then start thinking about Lyon.
We are glad we made it to the quarterfinals, because we beat Real. Zinedine Zidane has never lost in the playoffs. We know very well what this team is capable of - they won this tournament three times in a row. Our victory over Real Madrid makes us understand that we are capable of taking the Champions League. I believe that Gabriel was the best player in these two matches.. He scored in Madrid, earned a penalty, and today scored and passed. He played a key role in our victory.
In the first half, we had problems with the attack, but after the break, we began to use our wingers more widely, and everything began to work out, "
