Pre-match press conference with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola ahead of their Champions League trip to face Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Guardiola discusses the challenge of facing Madrid in Europe, the atmosphere and significance of playing at the Bernabeu, and the importance of using high-level Champions League nights to help City’s newer players grow and gain experience.
He speaks warmly about Xabi Alonso, reflecting on their time together and acknowledging the pressure managers face at Barcelona and Real Madrid. Guardiola highlights how the balance of power inside a club depends on whether the hierarchy support the manager or the players, and contrasts the privacy of English football environments with the intense scrutiny in Spain.
He also addresses how teams develop through the season, explaining that the sides who win are those that keep improving month by month. Guardiola insists that to beat Real Madrid “being better is not enough, you have to be much better”, emphasising the need for City to reach their highest level as they continue their Champions League campaign.
