UCL Mane, Sane, and Tuchel aim to break Guardiola’s heart in UCL blockbuster
Pulse Sports looks at key players and the statistical advantage the Bavarians have over City.
"I can just give my contract back if I’m not highly motivated for tomorrow. This is pure pleasure, pure joy, and a great gift to be part of a match like this, a quarter-final of the Champions League.
"And it’s an obligation to give my very, very best [in terms of] motivation, input, help, and devotion to my players. This is it. There is no more motivation needed."
The German tactician said although he enjoyed his time in England, that will not affect his determination to win against City.
"I can tell you I’m happy to be back [in England]. I enjoyed every single day of being in England, coaching in England, and watching the Premier League. Happy to be back and to be back in this atmosphere," he concluded.
"But when the whistle goes, there will not be so much enjoyment or sentimental thoughts, we will then compete until the last whistle."
