P. Guardiola: "Predicting Zidane's tactical actions is not easy" © „Reuters“

Already on Friday evening, two more participants of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals will be revealed. The postponed match, which was supposed to take place in March, will be played by Madrid's "Real" and "Manchester City" clubs. The "Man City" team, who achieved victory in Madrid, has a goal advantage, but "Real" is coming to Manchester in a fighting mood. Pep Guardiola, speaking before the match, stated that he carefully watched the "Real" game in the "La Liga" championship, but still expects surprises from Zinedine Zidane. "It's difficult to predict Zidane's tactical moves," said Guardiola. "When you think you know everything, he shows you something completely different." "We have reviewed all the Real matches they played after the coronavirus break. We analyzed their game and have ideas on how they will play, but we are more concerned about what we can do on the field ourselves," continued the Catalan. "All we want is to punish Madrid's 'Real' and showcase our best qualities. I hope we can test Courtois' form with some shots," added the strategist. Z. Zidane has never lost in the Champions League knockout stage during his coaching career, which consists of two matches.
