Pep Guardiola called on “something special” by his side Manchester City to save the campaign for his Champions League.
The city, 2023 winners, slipped outside the top 24 in the League phase after winning only two of its first seven games and must now beat the Klugga on Etihad Stadium on Wednesday to stay in the competition.
“The situation we have is to have to win the game and if not, we will not continue in this competition,” Guardiola City Manager said. “But that's not a problem, it's an opportunity, a challenge, and we'll face it.
“We would like to achieve a lot for many 20 minutes, but I don't think that happens. The approach is to read the game we have to play – be completely relaxed, nor understanding games.
“I know that these kinds of games you have to put in something special – something that hasn't been enough in this Champions League – to win the game.”
