Man City boss Pep: If we don\'t score in Monaco, we will be...

Published on: 22 February 2017

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has insisted that he will adopt an attacking approach in the Champions League return leg against Monaco.

The Citizens registered an impressive 5-3 win in the first leg at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night, but Guardiola thinks that his side would need at least an away goal in three weeks' time to ensure their progress into the next round.

"We are going to fly to Monaco to score as many goals as possible," he said.

"I would like to see how many teams are able to get a clean sheet against Monaco this season. They have fantastic players.

"We understood immediately they are going to attack with runs in behind. It's so, so difficult but we created a lot of chances and I don't know if Monaco have seen a team create as many chances as we did against them tonight.

"They always arrived with 6, 7 players and I haven't seen a team attack with so many good players for a long time.

"Now we know each other better, we are going to adjust, they are going to adjust... If we don't score in Monaco, we will be eliminated.

"We are still alive and now we are going to rest in Abu Dhabi and we will come back and prepare for Huddersfield, the Premier League and our game in Monaco."
