could that relax pep guardiola and the players a bit for the run in? think they would be great disappointment but as ever with them it will not change the way that they operate and city. i think the interesting thing tonight would be to see what sort of team pep guardiola picks because he made eight changes, a little surprising for the semi on saturday which i think makes you think that perhaps it might be a stronger thing tonight which i think also reflects the position that manchester city are in, that they do not want any slip ups and they want to get this title sorted and sealed and delivered as soon as possible.— sorted and sealed and delivered as soon as possible. moving onto aston villa, they had _ soon as possible. moving onto aston villa, they had a _ soon as possible. moving onto aston villa, they had a brilliant _ soon as possible. moving onto aston villa, they had a brilliant start - soon as possible. moving onto aston villa, they had a brilliant start to - villa, they had a brilliant start to the season. just two wins, jack is out injured,

we had those words this week from pep guardiola, saying he would be deemed a failure if by the time hegh? trust will be a massive disappointment, off the back of going to leon at this stage last season and off the back of going to tottenham and liverpool in the last eight in the previous two seasons before that. but were it not to go their way tonight, that is a huge disappointment for manchester city. before we let you go off to commentary, will be have three english teams in the semifinals? ida. english teams in the semifinals? no. i think english teams in the semifinals? firm i think liverpool will probably fall short — if we have three, that is a major achievement. short - if we have three, that is a major achievement.— short - if we have three, that is a major achievement. brilliant stuff, en'o the major achievement. brilliant stuff, enjoy the commentary _ major achievement. brilliant stuff, enjoy the commentary tonight, - major achievement. brilliant stuff, i enjoy the commentary tonight, thank you so much for your time. well, staying with football as uefa have banned the slavia

pep guardiola's side got back to winning ways despite aston villa taking the lead inside the first minute also had a man sent off, withjohn stones set miss sunday's league cup final after a straight red card. city are now 11 points clear and need eight points from their final five matches to become champions. so its been a tough week for all those clubs involved in the european super league, and the city boss pep guardiola was asked whether it's been a distraction for them. after the game, it doesn't look like, so we were focused, the players, of course everyone was concerned all around the world, but the players were focused, they yesterday trained really well and put on an incredible performance. we are so close. it's been a busy few days for city's opponents in that final, spurs. not only were they part of the esl proposals but they also sacked managerjose mourinho. interim head coach ryan mason made a great start with a 2—1 win against southampton, son heung—min scoring the winning goal from the penalty spot in the 90th minute. in la liga, real madrid moved level on points at the top

we heard from pep guardiola earlier.e success is already guaranteed forjust for a few clubs. this statement is what i feel. i don't know what is going to change and the people say no, no, maybe four or five teams can go up and can play competition. but what happens if the last 14, 15 play not good seasons and every time they will be there. so this is not sport, it's another issue. laura, perhaps there seem to echo the comments thatjurgen klopp made yesterday. they seem to be placing themselves in opposition to their employers, the clubs i have signed up. worth pointing out today that we have heard of other potential european clubs that could join. by munich and paris st germain, two european giants that they won't be signing up to these proposals. that signing up to these proposals. git this stage, we don't have any involvement from any french or german clubs and the chairman and chief executive of psg said that football is a game for everyone, as a football club, we are a family and community and ourfabric a football cl

the game also pits contrasting managerial experience — pep guardiola, who�*s won it all, against tottenhame cup final. we are to begin? normally, this is the first major trophy on offer in endless domestic season, but this campaign has been anything but normal. the coronavirus pandemic means it is happening to months later than planned, with only 8000 fans allowed. that is just the start. both tottenham and manchester city were part of the european super league announcement this week. both were part of pulling out a couple of days later. and that there is the small matter of spurs sacking their manager. jose mourinho outs, ryan mason in. the former midfielder made 70 appearances for his hometown club before a serious head injury forced him to retire. on sunday, he will be leading tottenham out at wembley, aged just 29. this leading tottenham out at wembley, aged just 29-_ aged just 29. this isn't so much about me. _ aged just 29. this isn't so much about me. it — aged just 29. this isn't so much about me, it is— aged just 29. this isn't so much about me, it is about _ aged just 29. this is

the interesting thing will be some of the reactions of the managers to test, people like pep guardiolas comes across as a man of the people, obviously he is from germany where so far they have stood back from this. how can you have a european super league without a club like bayern munich, or psg for that matter? whether they will come in at another stage and make their thoughts known, i'm not sure. it is a difficult one for the players. i suspect one or two of them will be concerned about this because, like all footballers, you start out as fans of the game of football, and this is a threats to what football is really all about.— is really all about. people are talkin: is really all about. people are talking about _ is really all about. people are talking about it _ is really all about. people are talking about it as _ is really all about. people are talking about it as if - is really all about. people are talking about it as if it - is really all about. people are talking about it as if it is - is really all about. people are talking about it as if it is a - talking about it as if it

tottenham are trying to win their first trophy since 2008 — and their interim manager looks up to pep guardiolaest in the world, there is no doubting that. he has been at city for a while now and he has got that as well, they have lots of familiar faces within their setup, they know how they play, but we are tottenham and i'm sure that they will be thinking of us as well. so the first major piece of silverware is up for grabs this season. earlier i spke to our football correspondentjohn murray. there are some big announcements in the team, whether harry kane will be fit to play in this match which is obviously a very significant from a tottenham point of view and whether kevin de bruyne will be fit to play and also sergio aguero, he has had five matches out, leaving manchester city at the end of the season, we have the extraordinary situation whereby a young man, 29 years old, ryan mason, will manage the team in only his second match in the job after the sacking ofjose mourinho at the start of the week. that is a very unusual position for him to be in. in a row after beating france at twickenha
