Pep Guardiola talks about the toll on his players from playing so many games. He says most were exhausted after the game with Bayern Munich. Ofcourse he says they all want to play, they all want to play, but he has to assess their physical condition. He says it is not about that game but about the many games every 3 days, that "the mental fatigue is big." Talk about winning 3 titles, FA Cup, Premier League, Champions League, is just that, far, far, away. He faces Real Madrid in the next match in the Champion's League semi-final, a team that has its own record.

Pep Guardiola and Valverde on the Manchester City loss to Real Madrid 3-0 and Valverde's hat trick. The Uruguay midfielder said: “We’d put some emphasis on training the long ball from goal kicks. City like to press high – they like to go one-v-one, and that means we might have space in behind them to exploit.” Courtois long goal kick gave Valverde his first goal. Manchester City missed Norwegian Haaland in this game.

Pep Guardiola has a lot of faith in Messi who scored 73 goals 10 years ago under Guardiola. After Barcelona's poor decisions in letting Neymar go to PSG, and the recent letting go of Luis Suarez, there was little incentive for Messi to go on. In fact the way Messi sent a fax to Barcelona about his intention to leave made headlines, it also showed that Barcelona is not what it was in its glory days. Barcelona's focus on money in its deals asking a huge transfer fee of 700 million has turned off fans.
Pep has so much faith in Messi that here he tells the reporter Messi could go on playing till he is 40 because of his style of play.

Pep Guardiola said "its not a sport when the relation between effort and success does not exist. Its not a sport when success is guaranteed."

Turning Manchester city into the hardest team to play is hard thought and hard won says this report in The Times. It says it does not run naturally with Pep Guardiola's idea of beautiful attacking football and his one of his finest achievements. This was seen in the game with Atletico Madrid with few shots on goal by Atletico Madrid. This could be decisive in the game with Liverpool.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
