Real Madrid Don’t Fear Manchester City, Zidane Declares Ahead Of Champions League Clash

By Daily Sports on February 26, 2020

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has said he “doesn’t worry about or fear” facing Manchester City and Pep Guardiola in the club’s Champions League clash.

Zidane and Guardiola will go head-to-head for the first time in a competitive match on Wednesday night in their Champions League round-of-16 first leg match at the Bernabeu.

“It’s just Madrid-Manchester City, it’s not Zidane-Guardiola,” the French coach said at his prematch news conference on Tuesday.

“People can talk, and have opinions, but it’s a game of football, it’s an attractive game. These are the games we want to play.”

Zidane, who has never lost a Champions League knockout tie as coach, winning the competition three years running in 2016, 2017 and 2018, went to visit Guardiola in 2015 to study his methods when the Catalan coach was in charge of Bayern Munich.

“We’re inspired by what he’s done. That motivates us more,” Zidane said. “We don’t worry about it and we don’t fear playing Guardiola and his teams. I was with him for a few days when he was at Bayern, talking about training and how he manages a team. He was very honest.” (ESPN)
