PEP Guardiola admitted Manchester City will have to play a "perfect" game when they face the "massive" task of overturning a 3-0 deficit against Real Madrid in the Uefa Champions League tonight.
Guardiola’s side are on the brink of elimination after the last-16 first leg loss in Madrid last week. City must produce one of the greatest fightbacks in the history of the Champions League to avoid being knocked out by Real for a third successive season.
It is a daunting challenge against the 15-time European champions and City boss Guardiola knows only a sublime display in the second leg at the Etihad Stadium will give his team a chance of a miraculous escape.
"I have to admit the task is massive. To score more than three goals against Madrid is not easy," Guardiola said yesterday.
