Marco Rose!

Marco Rose, Leipzig's coach, also spoke about what he expects from the match: "The aim is to take these things onto the pitch tomorrow. I'm talking about consistency and hunger. That's a benchmark of the highest level. How will we perform at that level? How will we approach the game against City? It doesn't help Xavi, Castello Jr. or Baumi if I tell them that we lost a lot here last year. It's a new Champions League season, a new team. We can do better tomorrow, but we also know it will be a big challenge. We're up against a confident team of excellent quality, but my team still wants to prove itself here and show what it's made of. I'm looking forward to seeing Erling and Josko again tomorrow. Obviously, I'm keeping an eye on Erling and I always laugh when he breaks one record after another. We have a good relationship, but we haven't seen each other for a long time. That's why I'm glad we have time to talk before tomorrow's match. Of course we're watching what Josko is doing. It was clear to me that he would adapt here with his quality. He plays more or less in a position between defender and full-back under Pep. He told me in the first game that it involves a lot of running. Josko is a very nice guy and a very good footballer - that's why he's adapted to City and has already integrated well here."

November 28, 2023 1:29 PM ET

Guardiola!

Ahead of the match Guardiola spoke about absentees and the quest for qualification: "I'm not too optimistic about good news for the return of some people. We'll see this afternoon. I think it will be the same people who played against Liverpool. We have training now, but we'll see this afternoon. We'll do the second day of recovery. We're not going to think about doing anything. We have to win or draw. The first step towards qualification has been taken for both teams, and congratulations to Leipzig. But it's important to finish first, both for prestige and to have the second leg of the round of 16 at home. It's not decisive, but it gives us a slight advantage. The stadium is always full, and we have to play as well as possible and create as much as we can to excite our fans. The team is playing very well and tomorrow I hope the fans can come and enjoy the game."
