We are fighting for four competitions, says Guardiola

The Spanish manager says he would be crazy if he doesn't trust the players who have won 27 out of their last 29 matches.

Pep Guardiola already has one of his hands on the Premier League title and now he is fully focused on the Champions League. It is undeniable that he wants to win the most important European championship more than anything but he hasn’t been successful so far.

Manchester City

have beaten

Dortmund

with a 2-1 victory at home but they can’t be very confident with that result. A goal is enough for Dortmund to finish the Citizens CL hope if they fail to score. Pep Guardiola however says he would be crazy if he wouldn’t have confidence in his players.

"After 27 victories in 29 games, if I don't trust the players we have a big problem – I would be crazy,"

he said in his pre-game news conference on Tuesday.

"Tomorrow we can win or lose. What we have done so far, we deserve to be where we are now. We know if we win we go through or lose we are out. In the Premier League we need three wins and a draw to be champions because we expect United to win seven in a row.

"If we go out, we will be disappointed but we have another chance. Life is like this. If you fight you get another opportunity. We are going to try.

"We lose against Lyon, we were better, but we were out. We are fighting for four competitions, especially the Premier League. We are already qualified for the Champions League, 11 years in a row, which has never happened before [for City]. That is fantastic.

"Now is the time for another step, the players want it. They were sad when we didn't get to the semi-finals [in 2019-20] but nobody will give it to us, we have to do it.”
