Pep Guardiola says Manchester City need to adopt the “take a shower and go again” attitude to winning at Champions League level. The Blues boss said his team are still learning what it takes to be at the very top level, despite reaching their first final last season.
Guardiola is hoping to lead them into a second successive final, with Real Madrid in town for tomorrow night’s semi-final first leg. But he says that when it comes to belonging among the elite, City are still a work in progress.
City beat Real Madrid home and away when they last met, in the 2020 tournament, and if they win at the Etihad Stadium tomorrow night will be the only team in Europe to have played them more than five times and still have a positive record - they have currently won two, drawn two and lost two.
