What Pep Guardiola has told Man City players to prepare for ahead of Bayern Munich clash

Pep Guardiola doesn't want his Manchester City players to give Bayern too much respect in their Champions League quarter-final.

City are aiming to make the semi-final for the third straight year and to do so by knocking out the Bundesliga giants would be one of the most impressive victories in their history in the competition. Bayern, of course, have far greater stories from this tournament but the Blues have a three-goal advantage over them as they look to go further than ever in the competition.

Guardiola does not want the team to lose sight of the progress they have made for the club over the last seven years by making it a norm for them to be competing in the latter stages. However, they cannot afford to get starry-eyed thinking about the tournament and Bayern's history in it as they look to finish the job.
