Preview
It’s a new era in the Champions League under the new Swiss model and league table method.
The draw has brought us a really tough away match up in Villareal, it will be a test of two smart teams with good managers.
City should have more than enough despite it being another match in very few days of rest and it being a must win. Expect some sparks. and slight rotation.
It should be an interesting match.
PEP GUARDIOLA PREVIEW
“Rayan is one of the most talented players I have ever seen in my career,” Guardiola declared.
“His talent… he is top. The question is how he settles and how he needs to read actions.
“He started well at the Club World Cup but then had a few weeks off. I have the feeling most of the time when the ball comes to him, the situation is better.
“I have the feeling Nico is getting better and better,” Pep said.
“It is not easy sometimes when you arrive at a new club and play in a different style to the past. I like his behaviour, and I feel he will get better month after month and year after year.
“He is so coachable, so open minded, he’s a lovely, lovely guy and his mum and dad should be proud of him as a human being.
“And I have a feeling that every game he is getting better.
