Guardiola: The game could be over for the chances

At the weekend, Guardiola had only minor quibbles against Leeds as he beat his peer, Sam Allardyce.

But with Erling Haaland giving a penalty to Ilkay Gundogan against Guardiola’s wishes, are the Citizens becoming complacent?

Guardiola said of record-breaking scorer Haaland: “He is ruthless, but at the same time if Ilkay has never scored a hat-trick, he’s so generous, so nice. Who knows, the feeling is he has more confidence right now because he’s taken 10 or 11 penalties and has the feeling, Gundo doesn’t have the feeling. I understand both sides. The game could be over for the chances.

“At 2-0 you have to close it. You don’t have to give anything. If you can control you have to control. Saying that, Gundo could have scored, other ones could have missed. It’s not about that. I admire that Gundo wanted to take the responsibility to take the penalty. That is the best value as a player. Normally the taker is the taker, Erling has to take it, he’s the specialist.”

Ancelotti: We play with 12 against 11

Ancelotti was in bullish mood after Real Madrid with victory over Osasuna.

“My message is let’s go for Tuesday, that’s it,” said the Italian.

“We know that like today and like other days at the Bernabeu, they will push us. We have a small advantage in the first leg and that is that we play with 12 against 11. We are preparing for Tuesday’s game in a good, happy and excited atmosphere.

“This Copa has come at an important moment, after overcoming complicated qualifying rounds. It’s a well-deserved prize after all the effort.

“The stress is very big in this type of match, especially when you are such a favourite. I’m happy, but fatigue prevails. We will realise tomorrow what we have achieved not only tonight but in these two seasons. Let’s think about Tuesday.”
