Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola describes the team's current Champions League predicament as an opportunity. The current champions sit 25th in the standings and must secure a victory against Club Brugge to avoid elimination. Guardiola emphasizes the importance of treating this match like a knockout fixture, reflecting on previous experiences with high-stakes games. Despite a tough loss to PSG, the team has received an injury boost with Oscar Bobb returning to the squad. A failure to qualify for the next round would mean missing out on financial rewards and further European competition this season.
"The situation that we have is that we have to win the game and if not we will not continue in this competition...it's not a problem, it's an opportunity."
"We are here for the reasons we know, that we have not been good enough, and this is a situation we have lived many times."
