Pep Guardiola preview

“It starts 0-0 and is a massively important game for us, definitely,” said Pep.

“It’s just three games left, after that game it’s two. We have a huge respect for them.

“It’s the best results we’ve got in a row; we didn’t have that this season. I know at the beginning of the season we did it, but yeah, we can do better.”
