Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has reiterated that he is not worried by the idea that there is excessive pressure on his team to win the Champions League this season.

City lost 1-0 to Chelsea in last season’s final at Porto’s Estadio Dragao on May 29, 2021, with a goal from Kai Havertz.

Guardiola triumphed twice in the Champions League during his time at the helm of Barcelona, ??but could not take Bayern Munich further than the semi-finals during his three years in Germany and has so far not won even with Manchester City.

Speaking ahead of his side’s first match against Sporting Lisbon, he said: “You can ask as many times as you want [about the pressure]. Does it bother me? Jo.

“We are here, we are in the Champions League. It is an honor, a pleasure to travel to Portugal to try to play well and try to win the game. What happens on the field dictates our chances. In the end, it depends on the players on the field “, declared the Spanish coach.
