Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is feeling the pressure as the Champions League quarter-final draw looms. With the draws set to take place on Friday afternoon, Guardiola has already identified the three teams he would rather avoid – Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and PSG.
After a convincing 6-2 aggregate victory over Copenhagen in the last round, City are looking to make a strong statement in the quarter-finals. However, Guardiola knows that facing powerhouses like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, or PSG will be no easy task.
“Bayern Munich, with their rich history and numerous Champions League titles, are a formidable opponent. Real Madrid and PSG are also top contenders that we would prefer to steer clear of,” Guardiola admitted.
Despite their own strengths, Guardiola acknowledges the challenges that lie ahead. “We respect all of them, we are scared too. I don’t know if they are but we are,” Guardiola confessed. “At the end, Madrid struggled against Leipzig, a team that many underestimated. We faced Leipzig and people thought it would be easy, but nothing in the Champions League is easy,” Guardiola emphasized.
As City brace themselves for the quarter-final draw, Guardiola’s cautious approach reflects the high stakes and intense competition in the Champions League. Stay tuned as the football world eagerly awaits the outcome of the draw and prepares for the thrilling matches ahead.
