Pep Guardiola says Manchester City have 1% chance against Real Madrid

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes his team has a 1% chance against Real Madrid in the second leg of the playoff round of the Champions League. While playing at home, the Cityzens suffered a 2-3 loss against the Spanish giants in the first leg and they will have their work cut when they face the 15-time Champions League winners at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Wednesday night.

Manchester City haven’t been at their best in the ongoing season and they will certainly need to bring their best to topple the La Liga giants. City were leading 2-1 against Madrid but conceded two goals late in the first leg match.

“The margin to win in Bernabéu in that position [3-2 down], everybody knows that if you ask before the game, the percentage to go through, I don’t know, we arrive at 1%, or I don’t know what,” Guardiola said.

“It will be minimal, but as much as you have a chance, we will try, that’s for sure, you know? “The chance is minor because the result was not good — five minutes ago, with 2-1, it would be different.

“But with 2-3, the chance is less, but as much as you have a chance, we are going to take it, and we’ll see what happens.”

The Spaniard admitted that his team has been far from their absolute best and thus the results haven’t gone their way.

“Listen, there are many, many games that we didn’t play the level we play, and at the end, we lost it,” Guardiola said.

“And that was not just the three points, it’s how it is affecting our minds for the next game. “It happened a lot of times. This season, the reality is that we have been miles, miles away.

Manchester City will need to bring their best against Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
