<p>Manchester City suffered a massive scare during their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-newcastle-omar-marmoush-savinho/bltdf8922d8a221eda8" target="_blank">4-0 win over Newcastle United in the Premier League</a> last weekend as star striker <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/erling-haaland-injured-massive-scare-man-city-distressed-norwegian-newcastle-clash-knee-problem-real-madrid/blt4231a3357226e29c#cs8115554437fa6242" target="_blank">Haaland limped out of the ground in the 87th minute</a>. Several other City stars were rested in the league clash as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-city-problems-deepen-ruben-dias-nathan-ake-jack-grealish-miss-newcastle-real-madrid-champions-league/blt34c05b62c0d4c4b4#cs73c5b50925b79954" target="_blank">Pep Guardiola made six changes to the team</a> that faced Los Blancos last Wednesday. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>At his pre-match press conference, Guardiola was quizzed on the condition of Haaland, Grealish, Nathan Ake and Ruben Dias. The manager replied: "Yes they have travelled, we will see tomorrow but it's good they are here." </p>

WHAT PEP GUARDIOLA SAID

<p>The Cityzens boss was further asked why <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jack-grealish-london-hotspot-mystery-blonde-woman-not-girlfriend-sasha-attwood-man-city-shes-not-with-me/blt42df089e407bc930" target="_blank">Grealish was excluded from the matchday squad</a> against the Magpies, to which he replied: "He was able to play a really good game in the FA Cup but he doesn’t have the consistency to play three games a week, he was not able to do it. Hopefully, now, he is able to for the last few months of the season he can get it." </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The reigning English champions <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/carlo-ancelotti-pep-guardiola-liar-man-city-prediction-real-madrid-difficulties-champions-league/blt498f3e273389046a#csb5b6109bdc811da3" target="_blank">will attempt to overturn the 3-2 deficit from the first leg</a> and beat Los Blancos at their den to qualify for the round of 16. Guardiola, though, has claimed that his team <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-man-city-one-percent-chance-real-madrid-champions-league-last-16/blt75ed36559b7dfb29#cs2e8c074239c5ab14" target="_blank">has only a one percent chance of progressing to the knockout stage</a>. </p>
