Pep Guardiola and his whole army are facing another crucial match on Saturday. In the English Premier League, Manchester City will try to avenge London Tottenham's triumph after the drama that took place on Wednesday in the Champions League.
It was Tottenham who knocked out the Man City team from the further fight for the Champions League trophy. Not even a week has passed, and the teams are facing each other again - Spurs are once again visiting Manchester. Three points are particularly important for P. Guardiola's team in the title race.
Speaking at a press conference, P. Guardiola said that the failure in the Champions League could be the reason why the team lacks strength and desire in today's clash.
Remembering the matches on Wednesday, P. Guardiola said: "Before the game, you never know how you will actually play and how you will react to certain situations. It seemed like several times we were already pushed to the edge of the abyss, but we still managed to recover."
"If you believe, then my resignation no longer hurts. I want to see if my players know what they did on Wednesday. It will take time to forget, but we have to somehow come to terms with it.
What we experienced during those matches was something unbelievable. We were lucky to be in the thick of the action. There is no other occupation in the world that could push you to these limits. We have to come to terms with such situations and accept them.
It will remain in our memory, but at the same time it will help us move forward. The players have the opportunity to show what they can really do," said the coach.
The match between Man City and Tottenham will kick off today at 2:30 pm.
