“Manchester City” club head coach Pep Guardiola compared his team's current season to last season's team before the match against Real Madrid and commented on the longer bench of available players:

“We arrive better when we look at the squad. Last season we arrived very exhausted and had fewer players who could help.”

“When you have all the healthy players and need to play in many tournaments and the league, of course, it's better to rotate. Fresh legs and fresh minds.”

“We need to face the opponents with great respect, but also look them in the eye and say: Alright, this is what kind of team we are.

You have to do it that way. Maybe we will be lucky and move forward.”

“Of course, we want to win and will give our all to continue this next Tuesday.”

“Manchester City” finished in eighth place in the Champions League group stage with 16 points.
