Manchester City faces RB Leipzig this Tuesday evening, for the 5th day of the Champions League group stage (9 p.m.). Here is the essential information on this match.
Already qualified for the round of 16 of the Champions League, Manchester City and Leipzig meet this Tuesday for a decisive display for first place in the group. The reigning champion only needs a draw to retain his leadership position.
An ultimately relative issue which authorized Pep Guardiola to crack his armor in front of the press this week. Unusually, the Catalan spoke about himself. And his longevity on the City bench. “I have energy. Everything is fine. I do not wantI can’t answer you. I don’t know. In football, I have said it several times… Yes, of course (extend, editor’s note), or I can leave tomorrow… A year and a half is a very long time in football. I came here with long hair and look now. It’s been eight years now…”
Still, Guardiola fully intends to complete his work with a new season rich in titles. The journey continues this Tuesday evening against this formidable German team.
