"What can I say? Always for a long time I have admiration for Monaco players. I remember a UEFA Super Cup final with Barcelona [against Monaco]. Always they have a good team, they link with the channels, they are really aggressive in the game. Hopefully we can read good what we have to do and try to take an important victory."
"We need to analyse this match as quickly as possible so that we can be 100 percent focused on Manchester City. They're one of the best teams in the world, we'll have to do our best, and maybe we'll have a chance to come away with something, but we know who we're facing. They'll be the favorites, but we'll prepare the team as best we can."
Manchester City travel to Monaco aiming to continue Champions League group momentum after a 2-0 win over Napoli and a dominant five-goal Premier League display against Burnley. Monaco begin the league phase with a 4-1 defeat at Club Brugge and suffered a 3-1 Ligue 1 loss to Lorient. Guardiola praised Monaco's aggression and linking play and emphasized the need to read the game to secure victory. Adi Hutter called for quick analysis and focused preparation while acknowledging City as favourites. Monaco's midfield is severely depleted with Lamine Camara, Denis Zakaria, Aleksandr Golovin, and Aladji Bamba ruled out, Paul Pogba unfit, and Lukas Hradecky and Christian Mawissa unavailable.
