Pep Guardiola gives players rest ahead of Champions League clash

Manchester City faces an almost impossible mission in the Champions League to make up for the first-leg deficit against Real Madrid (0-3).

An additional problem for the “Citizens” manager Pep Guardiola is the postponed Premier League match against West Ham, CE Report quotes MIA.

Guardiola decided to cancel tonight’s training session to give the players a rest.

This way, he wants to allow them to spend time with their families and friends, bringing positive energy for tomorrow’s clash with Real Madrid.

This is Guardiola’s way of trying to save the season, especially since elimination from the Champions League would be a heavy blow, given that Arsenal now has a nine-point lead over Manchester City in the Premier League.
