Wednesday briefing: Celtic heart attack like Man City target perfect game – Irvine Times

Pep Guardiola predicts that Manchester City will need a “perfect game” if he wants to overturn his deficit of 3-2 units against Real Madrid.

And Arne Slot rejected the proposal that the nerves were improving from the pursuit of the title of Liverpool after dropping points against Everton and surviving scare against Valvs.

Celtic hearts broke

Celtic underwent the most violent exit from the Champions League after Alfonso Davis transferred a leaflers to Bayern Munich at the last minute of stopping time at the Allianz Arena.

The Scottish champions seemed ready to take the playoff at extra time after Nikolai Kun took them forward in the second half, as they fought from 2-1 down after the first Glasgow game.

Bayern’s last home defeat in the European quarterfinals had come against Paris St. Germain four years ago and they were unbeaten at home in the Bundesliga this season until Celtic had never won in 14 previous racing matches in Germany.

But Vincent’s country has denied Celtic at death, rescuing Casper Schmeichel from Leon Goretska’s header in the path of Davis, who was at home from close range.

The city needs perfection

Pep Guardiola said he “lied” after claiming before that Manchester City had only one percentage of a chance to turn around his playoff in the Champions League against Real Madrid, but added that his side would have to be “almost” Perfect “to overcome it.

Real were winners with 3-2 Etihad Stadium a week ago and City manager had previously questioned the chances of his team to return to a dispute in Bernabeu.

Guardiola knows that there is enough pressure on his team, but said he hoped that they could channel him in a good way and avoid the earliest outcome of City in the race after going out to the group phase in 2012-13.

He said, “We have to make an almost perfect game. The result was not good. We have to attack, we have to score goals. “

From his claim that City has only one percentage of a chance to progress, he added: “I lied to you and did not believe me.

“I said because we were out and no one would bet on a penny for us. But over the days, the enthusiasm returns. At least we will try to be frightened and then see what happens. “

Nerves that do not get the best from Liverpool

Liverpool’s chief coach Arne Slot rejected the proposals the nerves begin to affect his side and believes that his players have an attempt to cope with the pressure of the title.

The 2-1 victory over Wolves, in which they endured the nail bites in the last 25 minutes after the visitors scored, was the sixth game the Premier League leaders won with a margin in one goal.

The Dutchman has his own attempt to win a Fayenoord title two years ago, but inherited a dressing room full of Premier League champions since 2020 when he moved to Anfield in the summer.

“I think it always helps, if you have already experienced it, it is not only me, but also for the players,” he said.

“We rely on players because they have to show up and bring the performances, but not the way they present a meeting how to deal with pressure today or tomorrow, this is not the case.”

What is there today?

Manchester City confronts Real Madrid in Bernabeu, who seeks to cancel the defeat by 3-2 they suffered in Etihad in the first game.

Liverpool are traveling to face Aston Villa, striving to extend his lead at the top of the Premier League to 10 points.

The victory at Villa Park would pass on to the Reds the biggest advantage at the top after winning the league for the first time in 30 years in 2020.

In the championship, the lowest two meet as Luton played Psimut on Kenilworth Road.
