Pep Guardiola suggested that Manchester City will employ a similar approach against RB Leipzig as they attempt to make the Champions League quarter-finals.
Guardiola stared down criticism of the 1-1 draw in the first leg, going onto the pitch at full-time to tell the players to hold their heads up high before heading into his media duties railing against his perceived expectations that the Blues must trounce anyone they play. "It doesn't matter what people say, they played the game they should play," he said.
The City manager said that his side cannot compete with RB Leipzig's transitions, given the respective pace and age of each player. And while there must be a winner in the second leg, Guardiola is reluctant to favour aggression over control unless he is forced to by the game situation.
