City manager wants his team to enjoy the pressureGuardiola says he learned lesson from Johan CruyffPep Guardiola has told
Manchester City to play their
Champions League semi-final against
Paris Saint-German “like a friendly” and enjoy the pressure of facing last season’s runners-up.
Guardiola, in a conspicuously relaxed mood before the first leg at PSG on Wednesday, urged the players to learn from the example of his mentor, the former
Barcelona manager Johan Cruyff. Guardiola twice won the competition when Barcelona head coach, in 2009 and 2011, and has managed in seven previous semi-finals with the Spanish club and Bayern Munich. This is City’s second appearance in the last four.
