Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said Monday he feels “incredibly confident” about his team’s form heading into their Champions League clash with Villarreal, despite recent inconsistencies in domestic league play.
Addressing reporters, Guardiola remarked: “I feel incredibly confident about the team now. We know the challenges and we are ready.” He acknowledged City’s mixed run in the Premier League but emphasized their continental aspirations remain high.
Villarreal, under pressure to advance from their Group F standings, will present a stern examination of City’s resurgence. Guardiola’s squad is expected to field several regular starters after squad rotation in recent domestic fixtures.
The match is significant as it could determine whether Manchester City recaptures consistency on the European stage, reinforcing their status among the contenders after slipping form raised doubts.
