Pep Guardiola reportedly was emotionally destroyed after Manchester City Vs Bayern Munich on Tuesday. The match saw Pep’s side cruise to victory as they thrash Bayern Munich to a 3-0 defeat.
When asked for his thoughts on a cruising win over the German side, Guardiola replied, “It was not comfortable at all. I am emotionally destroyed! I have 10 more years today. It was such a demanding game. For 55 to 60 minutes, it was a tight game, for parts they were better than us. From the start of the second half, they were better. We could not control them. But we adjusted something and we were better. It is an incredible result. But we have to do something in Munich at a little bit better not to suffer too much. We will try to do it. I have been there many times. I know this team is special. To knock out these top teams you need two top games not one”.
He added, “I know exactly what we have to do there. If we do not perform well, they can score one, two or three. I know that and the players know it. It is an incredible result but we have to do our game with a huge, huge personality because otherwise, these are top clubs and teams. Here, we have our chances, in our stadium, we are something special this season. We have our momentum, we are clinical and have that weapon. But it is the same for Munich. I have been there, you have not been there. I have been there for three years and know what it means for the people. We are going there to score goals and try to win the game. If not, it will be so difficult “.
Rodri’s curling shot from distance in the first half gave Guardiola’s side the lead against the German champions. Bernardo Silva then headed in a second after the interval. And Erling Haaland completed the scoring as City put one foot in the semi-finals of the Champions League. They are to meet Bayern again next week in the Allianz Stadium in Munich for the second leg of the UCL Quarter Finals.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has reportedly admitted he loves fighting for the Premier League title. His side, Manchester City, are in direct race against rivals Arsenal to acquire the league title.
Man City defeated Arsenal 3-1 back in February to go top of the table. But the Gunners then won seven league matches at a stretch before seeing that run come to an end. On Sunday Arsenal drew 2-2 away to Liverpool. Still, Mikel Arteta and the team are six points clear of the Citizens. Although they played an extra match in the league this term.
Now, Guardiola has expressed his love for the final part of the season. He claimed that he is the happiest man in the world when his team’s fighting to win the title. He reportedly said, “Being again in the quarter-finals in Europe is a moment to enjoy. In September, October, November I enjoy less. When we arrive in the last stages, fighting for the title, I’m the happiest man in the world. I love to be here. What’s going to happen? I don’t know. If we’re going to win, everything is going to be perfect. If we lose, we will be a failure. Nothing is going to change. The day after, there will be a sunrise. We will try it again in the future”.
Guardiola then concluded by saying, “This is the mindset we will need to do. We have done it in the past, that’s why I’m incredibly happy with the players I have. The club we are. Everyone is pushing to be better and get better and better. That’s why we are here.”
