Manchester manager Pep Guardiola in his news conference after defeat at Real Madrid: “I don’t think we have much chance, but I have to say, of course, we’re going to try. We’ll be there, we’ll try with our people, and, again, we’ll do our best to be more active in the final third, and we’ll try. Obviously 3-0 is better than four. A tough result. We cannot deny it. The quality they have with Valverde, a difficult result. Six days, we recover and we will try again.”
Speaking to TNT Sports after the 3-0 defeat: “I had a feeling that we were better than the result said… But the result is here. We have one week and then we will see them at the Etihad.”
