"They know me quite well and every single game we try. This will not be an exception. I'm pretty sure they will try. Most of them are new; they don't have experience in that situation. We are not the same group but it an incredible opportunity to try.
"The way you play as much as you play good the mentality will be strong and if you don't play good you will be weaker. I'm not much concerned about the chances we are going to create, we are always able to do it at home.

"It's more about how we are going to defend. The match is massive. To score more than three goals against Madrid is not easy but we are here, it is a football game, everything can happen and we have to create as much momentum as possible with our people and do a good game and defend well."
Needing a huge performance to have even a small chance of overturning the deficit, Guardiola also spoke about the chances of his team being able to make a comeback.
"In many games here, against Tottenham or Madrid, it's not about the goals scored but they scored three or four," he said.
"The problem is not about creating chances here, even in the short times of 10 or 15 minutes, we are able to be there many times, knowing that the quality of them is different to any opponent.

"They do not give the ball away, they are able to win, the quality is there. It's easy for me to say that we have to score three goals in the first 20 minutes, but the reality is completely different.
"We have to be sustainable in our approach, we will talk tomorrow about what we have to do. The result in the first leg is not the best one....
"Aston Villa, last game to win the Premier League. Seventy minutes 0-2 and we made three goals in 12 minutes. in other comebacks, we did incredible things but conceded or goal difference we were out or decisions from referees.
"It has to be a perfect game in many departments to make these kind of things but I always have good memories of defeats. The Tottenham game was painful but it always remains in my pocket."
