Pep Guardiola
Pep Guardiola expects to face a more threatening Atletico side in Madrid when Manchester City look to book their place in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Pep Guardiola said: “I don’t judge what they do because I don’t know. It is more the fact that it was one game with 0-0 and at 1-0 it was a bit different. I guess the high part of the game will be more what happened in the last 15-20 minutes after the goal. This is my feeling. We have to prepare and adapt for both sides but now of course we have five days to prepare a Premier League game and after what we can do to attack a bit better and go there to not defend the result and try and win the game.
It was a difficult game against a tough opponent, during 25-30 minutes they played 5-5-0 and it was so difficult to find the spaces. We were patient enough except the first 5-10 minutes of the second half, like we did not attack in the right rhythm.
Pep Guardiola said: “The way we play is the way we play. It was a good result, unfortunately at the end we had one or two more chances with Kevin to score more goals but 1-0 to go to Madrid is good.”
