Pep Guardiola: “I like the way Man City celebrate winning in that way, I have incredible respect for the quality of Wolves.
I know what they have done against Liverpool and Chelsea for example, how good they play, and they were not able to do it against us what they have done. I know what I am talking about because I saw the games.
And how we celebrated when the team now is at the bottom [of the table], how we celebrated it in October, not in May or April, still I feel the team has the passion, how we celebrated in the locker room.
Still I feel they want it, still we are there, and that means a lot to me!”

Pep Guardiola on injuries from international breaks: "I was never as so angry like that moment [John Stones' injury earlier this year]. Never ever before I was so disappointed.
"It was a friendly game. And we were playing UCL quarter-finals against Madrid, and the PL to win it, and from friendly games for two players to come back injured. I didn't like it, at all!"

Pep Guardiola: “The games we have at home [in the UCL league phase], we have to close it! Otherwise, it will be so difficult finishing in the first eight. That is the target we want to achieve.”
“Always I encourage Man City's players to go to their national teams, it's a pleasure. But if it's a friendly game, you cannot come back injured! I'm sorry.”
“We are well-paid here, the club pays us. Not the national teams. So you have to respect the club. In friendly games, you cannot get injured. You can play, absolutely. But you cannot come back injured.”

Pep Guardiola: “John [Stones] looks like he's my son. Honestly. I know his body language, I know everything of him. He's one of the most adorable professionals, and lovely persons. There is no person I know more than best than him.”
“I'm SO happy to still have him with Man City, and I love him [John Stones]. There are a lot of guys that means why I am still manager here, and I like to be with them.”

Jose Mourinho: “We [Manchester United] won Europa League, finished second in the PL. We still have a chance to win that league if they punish Man City. Then they have to pay me the bonus and give me the money.”
Guillem Balague: “He [Pep Guardiola] was offered the [England] job. He thought about it for two months, and after said, ‘No because I don’t even know what I’m going to do at the end of this season.’
Man City, right now, feel he’s closer to staying than leaving, but nobody really knows.
What seems clear is in the cycle from the next World Cup to the following one [2030], he will have a national side; England are favourites. If Tuchel wins the World Cup, forget that plan.”

🚨 Pep Guardiola: "Injured, both.
Jeremy [Doku] a little longer than Jack [Grealish], but both are injured after the last games... I don't know [how long they will be out for].
Hopefully Jack will be maybe one week, 10 days, Jeremy a little longer..."

Matheus Nunes: “Any opportunity I have, I’ll try take advantage as I know every player will do same.
It'll be tough, we'll have to be at our best in a UCL match.
A special competition, everyone likes to play. May today be a beautiful night..."

Matheus Nunes: “It creates more chances [shooting outside the box] with teams that defend deep. Mainly our style, we push them to drop.
It gives mores opportunities for us to shoot from outside of the box and we have great players to do that..."
