Pep ’emotionally exhausted’ after victory against Bayern

Manchester City destroyed Bayern Munich 3-0 in the Champions League 1^st leg quarterfinal, but that left Pep Guardiola emotionally destroyed.

The manager of Man. City said after the match that he feels ten years older after this game, but the result was wonderful.

“Emotionally, I’m destroyed,” Pep told a post-game news conference.

“I have [aged] 10 more years today. It was such a demanding match. Now I have to relax, take 24 hours off for the guys, and prepare for Leicester [on Saturday].

The Spanish manager also added that his team must play at the highest level in Germany because Bayern can also beat them with a huge result.

Rodri, Bernardo Silva, and Erling Haaland scored for the victory at the Etihad Stadium. If a miracle doesn’t happen in the 2^nd leg in Munich, City will advance to the ½ finals of the Champions League.
