The Spaniard spoke after his side's big away win against the Los Blancos.
On a glittery UEFA Champions League night at the Santiago Bernabeu, Manchester City nicked Real Madrid 1-2. Two second-half goals from Gabriel Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne cancelled Isco's opener while Sergio Ramos was sent off too. Pep Guardiola was naturally a happy man following the victory as the two sides look forward to a nervy return leg in England. "I'm happy for the victory of course but for the performance as well," began Pep Guardiola. [KH_ADWORDS type="4" align="center"][/KH_ADWORDS] "We tried to play against this team in quite good personality. They started really well and for the first 10-15 minutes we could not take the ball. We were not able to make the sequences of 10-15 passes in a row," he said as per Sky Sports. "When Madrid were playing better we scored a goal and after that found our rhythm and we scored a second one," he added. However, the Spanish tactician is not getting carried away with the win and is understanding of the fact that it will be a tough return leg. "Today we're happy but still it's not over. If there's one team in the world that can overcome everything is this club for its experience, its history. But hopefully, for our people, we can do a good performance and go through." "I'm pretty sure Zidane and his people are going to look at what we have done and the second game will be different. We'll have to be cautious and be alert to what he's trying to do, adapt quick and try to go there to win the game," stated Pep Guardiola.

"Hopefully the board, the lawyers and the rest can convince UEFA we did good things and not the wrong things." "I want to be honest - it's not easy for our club to live that. But I'm so confident that everything is going to go well. The last seasons we were outstanding, we compete really, really well. This competition is special. They want to do it and they do it for ourselves, for our fans," stated Pep Guardiola.Latest News
