Man City boss Guardiola: What I told the players after Champions League exit

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has revealed his words to his players after their Champions League exit at the hands of Real Madrid.

City are at Wembley today against Chelsea for the FA Cup semifinal.

Guardiola said: Nothing. After, I said thank you. We talked about the game, being ourselves.

We all want to win, but at least try to be ourselves. More than ever, we were.

After, I said thanks for the professional job and after that they have to pass the moment alone with friends and family.

There are smiles on the pitch and the FA Cup is a huge target to reach the final.

Chelsea are maybe the toughest opponent we can face right now.

We will travel this afternoon and see who feels better and who recovered better against Real Madrid.

They say 'I'm fine Pep' but at the end you never know - everyone's ready to try again."
