P. Guardiola: "We must stay true to ourselves" © JumpStory

On Tuesday, the UEFA Champions League semifinal stage starts. In the first semifinal, "Manchester City" and Madrid's "Real" teams will face each other. Before the first match in Manchester, "City's" manager Pep Guardiola expressed his great respect for the opponents and emphasized that his team must simply play their own game. "In the past decade, we have always been close to the Champions League trophy. It is very pleasant to be here. We can only rejoice that we are in the semifinals with the best teams in Europe and the world. Now we just have to be ourselves and play two fantastic matches if we want to reach the final. I believe we can do it. I really don't need to talk much about how we respect "Real" and the excellent football they demonstrate. That shows how much we respect them. We want to be in the final and win it, but at the same time "Real," "Liverpool," and "Villarreal" want the same thing. It must be understood that just being in the semifinals is an impressive achievement," Guardiola said at a press conference.
