Pep Guardiolacoach of Manchester Citysaid in an interview that if the Real Madrid removes them from the Champions LeagueMaybe the owner arrives and says goodbye.

The Spanish coach jokes about the matter in an interview with Sky sports two weeks after facing the whites in the round of 16 of the 'Champions'.

“If we do not succeed (eliminate Madrid and win the 'Champions'), the owner may knock on my door and fire me. Or maybe not, maybe he comes and tells me that he is doing well and that we have to improve, “he said.

Guardiola also expresses his desire to conquer the Champions League, a trophy that has not lifted since 2011, when he still directs Barcelona.

I want to win the Champions. I dream of how to play against Madrid, they are happy weeks in which I imagine what to do to win them. “

On the success as a coach, Guardiola downplayed the pressure suffered in England to win everything and gave Liverpool as an example. “Liverpool has taken four or five years to win its first trophy, it is a process. When you are a certain coach it seems that you have to win everything. It is impossible to win everything. I can't assure you win all the titles. I would love to, but I'm not good enough to do it, “he said.

“I have never felt that I have been the best, even when we won the sextet in Barcelona.”

In addition, Guardiola also talked about Leo Messi and expressed his desire that the Argentine star remain in Barcelona. “I hope he stays there, it's my wish”
