The big question before the deciding match in the champions league is Manchester City vs Real Madrid comeback. Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola does not doubt that his team will do their best to reverse the 3-0 disadvantage against Real Madrid.
City must confront the 15 time champions in the second leg in the tie of the UEFA champions league. The English club has been killed by the Spanish giants in recent editions. But Guardiola says that faith and hard work will make the night.
Speaking in the eve of the game, Guardiola stated that his players are aware of the significance of the moment. In his opinion, the team will fight to the very last moment since football may always be unpredictable.
City boss said that there is already belief in the squad. Many players have been employed over the years working together, thus have a feeling of the mentality needed on a big European night. But, he acknowledged that this group is not the same as it was, and some of the new faces are getting exposed to this type of pressure.
Nevertheless, Guardiola sees the scenario as a chance and not a liability. He thinks the game can be a memorable event to both the players and the spectators.
This manager also allowed his squad a day off and then preparations continued. It was expected to revive the team psychologically prior to the decisive encounter. Guardiola reckons that psychological prowess will be a significant factor in the performance of his team.
He has no doubts that City can generate opportunities at home. The larger issue, he said, will be the just defence against the dangerous attack of Madrid.
It is never easy to overcome a 3-goal deficit against a club as Real Madrid. Nevertheless, Guardiola claims that it is easy, just win the game at first, and then where the game takes you.
