"Guardiola Admiring ‘Real’ Victories: ‘It’s an Honor to Fight with Such an Opponent’"

"Manchester City" team welcomes perhaps the biggest challenge of this season. Supported by UEFA tournaments, the "Citizens" have a chance to finish their Champions League performance with their heads held high.

In order for this to happen, the "Man City" team needs to march at least until the final. The way, it seems, will certainly not be easy - in the quarterfinals, the "Citizens" face, probably, the most experienced team in the tournament.

Pep Guardiola, who is facing the Real Madrid team, claims that this is one of the biggest challenges for his team.

"I respect and admire the Madrid club a lot", - P. Guardiola started the conversation with compliments to his opponents. - "This club is full of players who have lifted the Champions League trophies so many times that I can't even say the exact number".

"At the same time, perhaps only Claudio Bravo in our team has tasted the taste of a Champions League victory. However, the most important thing for us is to show the desire to win. We can lose, we can win, but dedication must be there in either case.

Against Madrid, good matches will not be enough, we have to play our football for the full 180 minutes. This is certainly a very, very serious challenge.

We are going to one of the biggest, most beautiful and most magnificent stadiums in the world. We should not be afraid of it, we must use our weapons and try to score. If we don't do that, we will congratulate the opponents and try to do it next time.

It is a huge honor for us to be here and to know that we will fight against a club that has triumphed in the Champions League 13 times and is the king of this tournament", - spoke the Catalan.

The clash between Madrid's "Real" and "Man City" will take place at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium on Wednesday evening.
