PEP GUARDIOLA TODAY'S PRESS CONFERENCE AHEAD OF MADRID GAME TOMORROW:
Pep Guardiola on last season vs Real Madrid: "It was tough, obviously, but at the end we make an exceptional game in Manchester. Really good here, not exceptional, but it was not enough. We congratulate them and accept it..."
Pep Guardiola: "One day we will reach the #UCL final and we will win it. We come here to do it this season, but we came here to do it last season..."
Pep Guardiola: "We arrive here with encouragement. The way we play was really good. We're not here for revenge, just another opportunity..."
Pep Guardiola: "We were prepared last year too. We're the same managers, mainly the same players, but completely different games. The difference is the second leg is at home..."
Pep Guardiola: "You have to perform to reach the #UCL final and we did it [last year]. We played exceptionally at home. It was okay here [in Madrid] and could have been better. Football is 95 minutes. We congratulate Real and now we are back..."
Pep Guardiola: "It would be a huge mistake to think we are here for revenge, just another opportunity..."
Pep Guardiola: "There are clubs who do crazy things to win the #UCL. Being stable is the most important thing. Winning it is important..."
Pep Guardiola: "We wanted it last year, but Barcelona had to take a lot of time to win it. The important thing is we are trying to get better every year. The #PL is so difficult to qualify for #UCL..."
Pep Guardiola: "I have the feeling that after the first #PL [title], we wanted the #UCL. In two games, we are trying to do a good one and that is what we have to do..."
Pep Guardiola is currently laughing to himself, smiling, sighing, and spinning a bottle of Gatorade and reading the ingredients on the side in pure boredom as a Spanish journalist waffles on, and on, and on in one question.
