Manchester City just need a draw from Atletico Madrid to advance to the Champions League semifinals. Pep Guardiola insists he came to Madrid to win.
At the Wanda Metropolitano, Thursday (14/4/2022) early in the morning, Atletico vs Man City took place. The Manchester Blue team pocketed the capital 1-0 aggregate advantage looking at the match.
Therefore, a draw was enough to deliver Man City to the semifinals of the Champions League this season. Guardiola predicts a tough match against Atletico in front of his supporters.
Throughout his career as a manager, Guardiola has visited Los Rojiblancos six times. As a result, Guardiola was able to record three wins and three draws. The atmosphere of the match at Atletico’s home is familiar to Guardiola.
“We came with a good result, with the intention to win. The game will be different because Atletico Madrid are playing at home: because of the passion that all the fans have there will be a moment where they will be very aggressive and create problems,” said Guardiola as reported by Calciomercato .
Guardiola has not been able to realize Man City’s dream to win the Champions League. The Spanish manager has been in charge of The Citizens since 2016.
For five seasons, Guardiola’s best performance with Man City in the Champions League was limited to being runner-up. City achieved this achievement last season, losing to Chelsea in the Champions League final which took place at the Estadio Do Dragao.
Man City lost to the Blues due to goals from Kai Havertz. In the semifinals, the winner of Atletico’s duel with Man City has been awaited by Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinals.
