Two goals ahead give Manchester City peace of mind on their trip to Budapest, their new home, where they will host Borussia Mönchengladbach at home. It is a good income for Pep Guardiola’s team, who it passed over the Germans in the first leg. But it is in the Champions League where the players have to show the most. citizens, and in this they are focused: “This team is worse than the previous ones because the others won a lot and this one has not won anything yet”said the Catalan coach in reference to the level offered this season (follow the game live on As.com).
In the call is Sterling, unlike last weekend against Fulham, which unleashed all kinds of suspicions about a disagreement with his coach: “It is normal that footballers who do not play are not happy, it has happened since football was invented”Pep argued. With a 14-point advantage in the Premier, being in the Carabao Cup final and still alive in the FA Cup and in the top European competition, Guardiola refuses to speak of a future more distant than the next game: eliminating Gladbach and going to the quarterfinals, his ceiling since arriving at Manchester City.
