What the managers are saying

Pep Guardiola (Man City): “It was incredible to watch the [Hoffenheim] game against Shakhtar as a spectator. They had ten men for 30 minutes and they lost.“I knew when I was in Germany about Nagelsmann and his team but it was then that I realised how tough it would be.”Julian Nagelsmann (Hoffenheim): “Even as an optimist you’d say it was difficult. We have to be on top of our game. But we don’t have a huge amount to lose. We can enjoy the game. Perhaps we can relax and play the football that got us to the Champions League.”Nagelsmann faced Guardiola in the Champions League3
