Pep Expects Man City Reaction Against Spurs In Premier League Clash

By Daily Sports on April 20, 2019

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said his players will not forget their painful Champions League loss to Tottenham Hotspur but expects them to show the same intensity when they face the north London club again in the Premier League on Saturday.

City's quadruple bid ended when they went out of Europe on the away goals rule on Wednesday, despite winning 4-3 win at the Etihad Stadium, after the two-legged quarterfinal tie finished 4-4 on aggregate.

Guardiola’s side thought a late goal from Raheem Sterling had earned them a place in the semifinals but the effort was ruled out after a video assistant referee (VAR) review confirmed that Sergio Aguero was offside in the build-up.

“You believe it doesn’t hurt or I've forgotten it? I would say no,” Guardiola told reporters on Friday. “I don’t want the players to forget what they live.

“I don’t want to see my players saying it doesn’t matter. I want to see them react to the hurt.

“What we lived last Wednesday in terms of emotion, or just simple life, was incredible. We are fortunate, lucky to live it. More than 65,000 people enjoying the most exciting moment, and then in one second everybody is devastated.”

City are returning to domestic league action where they are two points behind leaders Liverpool, although Guardiola’s men have a game in hand and can seal back-to-back titles if they win their remaining five matches.

“I think the game against Spurs will be just as intense as the other day,” the Spanish coach added.

“We are going to attack in a more positional game but attacking against Spurs is not easy. They are an incredible, top team as you’ve seen in the last games, but we are going to try.” (SuperSport)
