Champions League: Guardiola discloses how Man City will approach Club Brugge game

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has revealed how his team will approach Club Brugge in their Champions League clash on Wednesday.

Man City have not been impressive in the Champions League so far this season.

The Premier League champions were defeated 4-2 by Paris Saint-Germain in their last Champions League encounter.

Guardiola’s side are in 25th position in the Champions League standings.

They are one place outside the knockout qualification zone with eight points, two wins, two draws, and three defeats.

Speaking to reporters at his pre-match press conference ahead of their must-win final group stage game with Club Brugge, Guardiola said the Cityzens will approach the game by reading, relaxing, and understanding the Belgian team.

“The situation we have is that we have to win the game, and if not, we will not continue in this competition,” Guardiola said.

“But it’s not a problem; it’s an opportunity, a challenge, and we will face it. We would like to score a lot in the first 20 minutes, but I don’t think it is going to happen.

“The approach is to read the game we have to play – be completely relaxed, no emotions, and understand the game. I know these types of games require something special,” Guardiola added.
