But before that, Guardiola’s team hosts Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday. Regardless of what transpires in the season’s remaining weeks, the City manager seems unconcerned with how he will be remembered.
“We are not foolish; we understand the significance of [Wednesday’s] game. Since we are all together here, it might be one of the most significant games. We can’t dispute that. For various reasons, including the opponent and the competition.
“I told the guys to seize the moment and enjoy it; we are really rtunate to be here, I told them. Being ourselves and winning one game is enough to advanfoce to the final; we don’t need to do anything extraordinary.
I have a great feeling about the team, so we’re going to give it everything we’ve got. Whatever happens, thank you very much for bringing me and the City supporters back.
Despite being in their greatest form of the year with 11 straight Premier League victories, Kevin De Bruyne’s equalizer left the first leg tied at 1-1, and Guardiola believes his team will need to play better than they did at the Bernabeu to advance.
“We can show up at the right time, but you have to do well. It’s not just a wish or a dream,” he continued. “All they need to do is what they have been doing for a long time, particularly throughout this season. To go to the final, I feel we must perform better than we did at the Bernabeu.
“I hope the side that deserves to win wins. We have to work hard. I have to instill my athletes with this focus in their minds and hearts. In order to defeat Real Madrid, they must put on a fantastic performance.
