Sergio Aguero misses two penalties, scores hat-trick in Manchester City rout
“That is what we are going to try to do for tomorrow’s game”.
Steaua Bucureşti have lost just one of their last 16 Champions League qualifiers played at Arena Naţională.
In relation to some statistics around the game, Guardiola has won the Champions League twice as manager, with Carlo Ancelotti and Bob Paisley the only two managers to win it more than the Spanish coach.
Toure’s omission has fuelled speculation he may be leaving the club.
The big-spending Premier League side have been linked with Barcelona stopper Claudio Bravo, but an injury to fellow goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen could block any potential move to Manchester.
Joe Hart has been named in the 21 man squad to travel to Romania, but Ivory Coast worldwide Yaya Toure is once again a notable absentee. Here’s everything you need to know.
“All the players are important”.
“[After Barcelona] I went to Germany with another club where you have to win”.
That said, Steaua were beaten by Ludogorets Razgrad on penalties in the 2014/15 Champions League play-offs and they missed out on European football entirely last term after being defeated by Partizan Belgrade in the third round of Champions League qualifying.
Who will come out on top in the battle of the managers Laurentiu Reghecampf or Josep Guardiola?
He said: “Since I am manager of Manchester City, from the time we were together with Joe, it was flawless – his behaviour, his training sessions, on the pitch, off the pitch”.
I’d imagine it will be a nice comfortable night for them and Aguero should get plenty of chances. “I want to earn my place and that’s what I’m here to do – to work hard in training and to get that starting spot”.
