Pep: City must produce almost perfect game

Pep Guardiola claims his “extraordinary” and “exceptional” Manchester City side will not give up in their quest to overturn the odds against Liverpool.

City host the Reds in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tonight facing acing a monumental task to overhaul a 3-0 aggregate deficit following last week’s humbling at Anfield.

That loss was followed by a surprising Manchester derby capitulation, with the Premier League leaders surrendering a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 to United on Saturday, but Guardiola continues to back his players.
