Pep: I think we are feeling better going into this game after the last two games and winning at Swansea. Liverpool have had good performances too, like against Real Madrid. We have the weapons to change things from the bench if needed #ManCity

Pep: here you arrive at these games with a sense of rivalry it’s different with El Classico. We have created this rivalry with Liverpool and before it was Utd/Arsenal/Liverpool. #ManCity

Pep: I agree with Alex Ferguson that football is about the players, it’s not false humility from me. Working hard is the key.
If Arsenal continue they way they are going it will be impossible to catch them but they have to come here and you never know what can change. #ManCity

Pep: I have never betrayed the fundamentals of my football beliefs - I have changed but never changed what I believe in.
There is no team that doesn’t have dips, but doesn’t define the culture of the club, whether that’s us or Liverpool #ManCity

Pep: Liverpool has pushed me to be the best version of myself and we have pushed them to be great too. Wins, defeats are all part of the wonderful journey. The experiences I have had have been unbelievable here, at Barcelona & Bayern #ManCity

Pep: I can’t say I imagined 1000 games in management, I have been blessed.
If I have to choose on rival, this would be best, especially with Jurgen.
I have a high opinion about Liverpool.#ManCity

Erling: it’s a special match for me I have friends there and only good things to say about Dortmund. Cherki is a great guy with good qualities. We need to help him. He has this special talent a bit like KDB.

Erling: I like to help the team out defensively but of course I prefer to be scoring in the other box. Just because I’m scoring goals I don’t want to claim to be something I’m not. I’m from Norway that’s how we are. #ManCity

Erling: I had 57 goals one season but I don’t think about records. I focus on the next game. It’s about how I need to think.
I don’t plan celebrations so we’ll see what I do next time. I feel I’m getting better,practising my headers starting in Molde with Solskaer & Dempsey. #ManCity

Pep: how you adapt & adjust is crucial with so many games and players.
Finding a player like Haaland is difficult, someone with generosity and kindness. Of course he wants to score goals but he cares #ManCity

Pep: having Cherki & Foden together in the same team will be exciting. In some games where opponents have more physicality we will play in different ways.
I’ve been so lucky with different coaches I’ve had in my career. It’s a joy to work with Pep & Kolo, they taught be a lot.
