Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has described their upcoming Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid as a “final.”
Pep Guardiola while speaking with newsmen ahead of his team’s second leg quarter final encounter against Real Madrid, affirms how his team will be approaching the game.
The Premier League champions engaged in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Los Blancos last Tuesday, setting the stage for an intense showdown at the Etihad this Wednesday.
Likewise, Guardiola expressed optimism about having defender Kyle Walker back for the crucial match. Walker, who has been sidelined with a muscle problem since the last international break, is showing signs of improvement.
“Kyle Walker feels much better, maybe he can help with minutes against Real Madrid because it’s a final,” Guardiola stated. “But I don’t want to lose him for a long time… we will decide in the next days.
The Etihad Stadium will host the second leg Wednesday night, as the quest for European title heats on.
