Manchester City welcome Hoffenheim to the Etihad on Wednesday night knowing a draw will be enough to guarantee top spot in their Champions League group.Pep Guardiola will be pleased his team have already secured a place in the last 16 of the competition, given that he only has 15 fit senior players available for the final group game.
3What the managers are saying
Pep Guardiola (Man City): “It was incredible to watch the [Hoffenheim] game against Shakhtar as a spectator. They had ten men for 30 minutes and they lost.“I knew when I was in Germany about Nagelsmann and his team but it was then that I realised how tough it would be.”Julian Nagelsmann (Hoffenheim): “Even as an optimist you’d say it was difficult. We have to be on top of our game. But we don’t have a huge amount to lose. We can enjoy the game. Perhaps we can relax and play the football that got us to the Champions League.”
