Ahead of the decisive Matchday 6 clash in the UEFA Champions League, Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola shared his thoughts on the upcoming game against Real Madrid. The Catalan specialist reflected on his team's history, former stars, and the responsibility of the current generation.
Guardiola emphasized that some of Manchester City's legendary players from the last decade — Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, Ilkay Gundogan, and John Stones — will not be part of the squad for this clash. However, this does not shake his confidence in the current roster. On the contrary, he noted that this generation must demonstrate the same passion, dedication, and responsibility as those stars of the past.
"We have many new players. They also want to replicate what those big names achieved and even reach their level. Matches like these are the stage where you show who you are. The Bernabeu is the perfect platform to showcase yourself," Manchester City's press office quoted Guardiola on social media platform X.
High pressure, intense intrigue, and a significant test — tonight's game is expected to unfold in such a tense atmosphere. The clash between these two giants at the Santiago Bernabeu has always been rich with emotion, tactical battles, and unpredictable outcomes.
For reference, this match will kick off tonight, transitioning from December 10 to December 11, at 01:00 Tashkent time at the iconic Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid.
