Bayern Munich speak to media ahead of Man City clash

  • Intro:

    Bayern Munich midfielder Xabi Alonso and coach Pep Guardiola - spoke to the press on Monday (24th November) in Manchester, having already qualified ahead of the UEFA Champions League Group E trip to Manchester City.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: Xabi Alonso, Bayern Munich midfielder (on the threat posed by Manchester City)
    "Well, obviously, (Manchester) City are in difficult position. But they have shown that during the last three years......they have won the Premier League a couple of times. I'm pretty sure that this season they want to show their level and to go through (from the group stages). That is why tomorrow is a key game for them and they have great players. Of course, from the last game and for tomorrow, they will have key players suspended. But, anyway,as a whole team, it is one of the best squads in Europe, for sure."

    SOUNDBITE: Pep Guardiola, Bayern Munich coach (on the struggles faced by Manchester City in the Champions League)
    "My opinion regarding Manchester City.....doesn't matter.....their position now in the Champions League is the same. So, at then end, football is a little, little detail. We had to win our home game against them - and we won in 90 minutes (last-minute winner from Jerome Boateng). So, that happened and now in this situation....my relaxed situation now.....would be completely different. But we were here to fight to qualify. So, last season they qualified and faced Barcelona. Barcelona did not find it easy to beat them. Sometimes, you just need a little bit more time and they are on that road. It depends on them. Tomorrow, they could beat us and beat them (Roma) in Rome. Then, they will be in the next group (stage) and sometimes you need a little bit more time. But I know the regimes of Manchester City, I know the coach and I know the players. They are able to do it - not just here in the Champions League, but in the Premier League."
