Chances of winning at Bernabeu minimal – Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has acknowledged that the Citizens face a difficult task in overcoming Real Madrid in Wednesday’s Champions League second-leg playoff at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

The first leg ended 3-2 in favor of Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium last week. 

Speaking to the club’s website, the Spanish tactician said the team has only a “one percent” chance of advancing against the Spanish giants on Wednesday.

“The margin to win at the Bernabeu from that position, everybody knows, the percentage to go through, we arrive at one per cent. Or I don’t know what, but it will be minimal,” said Guardiola.

“But as much as you have a chance we will try, that’s for sure. We are going like we always have done but, this season, the reality is we have been miles away.

“We have been really, really poor in performances and results this season.”

“For one game, Saturday, we played really good but it’s not going to change the opinion, the reality. But, of course, it’s better to travel to Madrid with this result,” added the City manager.
