Manager Manchester City Josep Guardiola shared his expectations from the match against Basel.

"Townspeople" in the first leg of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League against Basel confidently won with a score of 4: 0.

"This is the Champions League, where every match is special. Concentration can not be lost in any case! In football, absolutely everything is possible. Suffice it to recall the match between Arsenal and Estersund in the Europa League, "Guardiola said at the pre-match press conference.

"We almost reached the quarterfinals, but we need to remain calm. The victory in the Champions League is a dream for all teams and all players. But we have excellent chances for the second time in history to reach the quarter finals ".

"I am often asked whether we are favorites of the tournament. Let's not forget the match in Wigan: 44th minute, red card, and everything immediately turns upside down. Sometimes it's not even how you play. The Champions League is so beautiful that it is absolutely unpredictable.

"Remember how before the first match between Real and PSG, everyone said that Madrid does not have a single chance. And before the return match the score is 3: 1 in their favor, and everything looks completely different ".

"We have not reached the level of Barcelona yet. Their players dominated Europe for the last 15-20 years. We have so far won one trophy together. So we must be on top for a very long time to deserve comparison with Barca ".

Match Man City - Basel to be held tomorrow. The meeting starts at 9:45 pm.
