The Spanish coach of Manchester City returned to the draw of his team against Real Madrid in the first leg of C1 on Tuesday.
Pep GuardiolaManchester City coach, who hung Real Madrid 1-1 on Tuesday at the Bernabéu in the Champions League semi-final first leg, in a post-match press conference:
«I want to congratulate the team, because it was not an easy scenario against this team. Through their history, the qualities they have… We started the match very well, but we suffered from an intelligent finish from Vinicius. Then we managed to equalize when they were in a better moment. But we return to Manchester to play a final in the second leg. Opposite was Real, that didn’t really surprise us. We defended our cage very well in general, we were present. Now it’s like a play-off. We know exactly what they are capable of. Maybe they’ll make adjustments, maybe not. We will have to try to attack better, but (David) Alaba and (Antonio) Rüdiger were so tight on Erling (Haaland), that it was not easy at all to find the spaces. We will try to adjust certain details on the return, to be more fluid, and to play with a little more rhythm. We will play at home, and we know that we feel more comfortable in front of our public. It’s important, because the team that wins will go to the final».
