With a convincing 2-0 victory at Borussia Mönchengladbach, Manchester City underpinned its title ambitions in the Champions League. The Pep Guardiola team is currently succeeding in everything.
Manchester City’s current secret to success? Pep Guardiola didn’t hesitate for a second. „We have a lot of money to buy a lot of incredible players,“ said the starting coach after the 2-0 (1-0) in the Champions League’s quarter-final home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach, the 19th consecutive competitive game win, without making a fuss.
Only when Guardiola began to rave about the quality of his players, their mentality and the cohesion in the team did a smile dazzle over his face.“We will enjoy this night,“ promised the Spaniard, „and from tomorrow only think of West Ham.“He was not yet interested in the second leg, Guardiola emphasized, and preferred to target the next league game on Saturday: „Our next goal is West Ham.“
Gladbach’s Kramer is enthusiastic about the division of space
It is precisely this focus, the consistent execution of tasks, that is to be the decisive factor in City’s eternal hunt for the Holy Grail, the first win of the royal class, this time. After a poor start to the season, Manchester has now been unbeaten for 26 games, with an impressive ten points lead in the Premier League.
And that Peps with tens of millions of citizens dressed up from Abu Dhabi are currently also the ultimate in European club football, they proved on Wednesday evening in Budapest with a thoroughly ripped off performance.
