In preparation for their return-leg match against Schalke in the Champions League round of 16, Pep Guardiola reminded supporters that Manchester City are still green in the competition.

“Of course we can arrive in the last stages and make another step forward, I cannot deny that. But I think to compare with those [big] teams, one silverware doesn’t change it. We are teenagers in this competition, that’s what I feel. We want to win it, we push ourselves. The best way is to feel this kind of pressure," said Guardiola.

Guardiola also observed the strength of English sides in the competition.

"The English teams right now – United, Tottenham are there – and we cannot deny how strong they are. In 90 or 180 minutes everything can happen and we want to compete against them."
