Guardiola Provokes Real Madrid: “Maybe We Got …”
After Manchester City’s 3-1 win over Club Brugge, Pep Guardiola responded with irony when asked about facing either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the Champions League Round of 32:
🗣️ “Maybe we got lucky… I don’t know if they’re happy to face us.”
Guardiola’s Message to Madrid & Bayern
Despite City’s poor form and struggles after Rodri’s injury, Guardiola warns that his team remains dangerous, regardless of their current state.
🔹 City’s Situation:
- Struggled in the group stage
- Forced to win their last match to avoid elimination
- Possible opponents: Real Madrid or Bayern Munich
Ancelotti Prefers to Avoid City
Madrid’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, admitted that he’d rather not face City, acknowledging their quality even when not at their best.
📌 Madrid’s Possible Rivals in the Draw:
✅ Manchester City – A European powerhouse
✅ Celtic Glasgow – A more favorable matchup
Madrid has found more defensive stability in recent weeks, and Mbappé is regaining form, making them a serious contender. However, the draw will determine their fate.
