Guardiola: I will remain a fan of Barcelona, and I want to hurt Real Madrid

Pep Guardiola talked today about his team's preparations for the Champions League match against Real Madrid, where he spoke in the press conference today about the new City players Nathan Aké and Ferran Torres and welcomed them in the team as he also talked about the game of Real Madrid tomorrow: "It's been a long time since the first leg, and we knew there was another showdown at home, but it's going to be without our fans, we're going to have a good meeting," he said.
He added: "This competition punishes you a lot, we know that we talked about it in recent years, and if we want to take a step as a team to get close to the Champions League, we have to improve in that region."

As for his question about his affiliation with Barcelona and his love for Barcelona and what this game means to him, especially with the constant conflict between Real Madrid and Barcelona, he said: "No, regardless of whether we face Real Madrid or not, I will always be a fan of Barcelona."
He stressed: "This club I grew up in, and I was a part of who I am now, but when I was at Bayern and I played against Real Madrid or Barcelona, I wanted to beat both teams, there is nothing special."
He added: "I want to win for the players and the club to go the next step, I do not lose my focus on these things, I focus on what we have to do as a team to beat Real Madrid."

He also talked about comparing Messi and Benzema, saying: "He is an amazing player, I knew that since he was a kid at Lyon, and about whether he is better than Messi this year since I was in Barcelona, 20 players appeared in the arena and everyone started comparing them to Messi, 20 players!"

He also talked about applying his style, saying: "We want to apply our style whether we are defending or playing on the rebounds, we want to go to the game for certain areas on the pitch where we can hurt Real Madrid and show the quality of the players, We want to prove that Courtois is at a high level by giving him a busy evening, and we know that there are times when we will have to defend, the position of the game will determine things."
