Manchester City v Real Madrid: Line-ups, stats and preview as hosts target incredible comeback
"No-one is irreplaceable. I would obviously prefer to have Erling because when you have Erling on the pitch you are scoring goals, and we need goals tomorrow. We've played without Erling when he was injured, we've dealt with those situations. The big players are there for the big moments."
"Erling is a massive player for us, very important player, and in the big games you need those players. But we have fantastic players everywhere. We wouldn't be shocked with anything, because it is not our job to judge the manager's decision, he gets paid a lot of money to make those decisions."
"This sport has taught us that a lot of things can happen. Even though the result in Madrid was really bad, we will fight until the end. The opponent is a very good one. At home, a lot of things can happen. We are going to try create the right atmosphere for that to happen."
Bernardo Silva expresses confidence in Erling Haaland's ability to perform in high-stakes matches, despite the striker's recent four-game scoring drought following a 1-1 draw at West Ham. Silva acknowledges that while Guardiola has the authority to make lineup decisions, he believes Haaland's presence is essential for City's attempt to overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit against Real Madrid. Silva emphasizes that elite players deliver in crucial moments and that City has successfully managed without Haaland during injuries. He notes the squad's depth while stressing the importance of having Haaland available for goal-scoring opportunities in the upcoming Champions League round of 16 second leg.
