City has “1%” chance against Real Madrid
Madrid secured a 3-2 first-leg victory at the Etihad last week, scoring twice in the final four minutes to overturn a 2-1 deficit.`
Guardiola’s side last defeated Madrid with a 2-1 victory in the Round of 16 in February 2020.
However, the former Barcelona manager believes his City team still has a slim chance of reaching the next round at the Bernabeu.
“The margin to win in Bernabeu in that position [3-2 down], everybody knows that if you ask before the game, the percentage to go through, I don’t know, we arrive at 1%, or I don’t know what,” Guardiola said.
“It will be minimal, but as much as you have a chance, we will try, that’s for sure, you know? “The chance is minor because the result was not good — five minutes ago, with 2-1, it would be different.
“But with 2-3, the chance is less, but as much as you have a chance, we are going to take it, and we’ll see what happens.”
Disappointing season
City have endured their worst season since Guardiola took charge in 2016 during this campaign, losing 12 games in all competitions.
While this season has been huge let down, Guardiola believes that his side could salvage their season.
“Listen, there are many, many games that we didn’t play the level we play, and at the end, we lost it,” he said.
“And that was not just the three points, it’s how it is affecting our minds for the next game. It happened a lot of times. This season, the reality is that we have been miles, miles away.
