Manchester City are in big trouble despite their progression in the Champions League, Pep Guardiola has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he was very pleased with the final result vs Atletico Madrid, but he still feels his side are in danger of burnout due to the quick turnaround between fixtures they are facing amid their hunt for three trophies.
Pep added that his players shouldn’t be expected to score 4 or 5 goals in every game because they are human beings.
His words, “Today we celebrate because it is the third time in Manchester City’s history we are in the Champions League semi-finals,”
“But we can’t forget we played three days ago, travelled, came here, have a lot of injuries now and I don’t know what will happen in the next weeks.”
“We cannot play all the time and score four or five goals, we are human beings – we come from a difficult game against Liverpool.”
“We are in big trouble.”
On Atletico, “It is the champion of Spain and they played with energy and, in the second half, were better than us and we were lucky we didn’t concede. In the first half we had chances, overall we are in the semi-finals – it is well deserved.”
“The opponent is so tough, all the teams in the Champions League come here and suffer so it is important we go through.”
