My first ‘appearance’ on Cheesy’s ‘Forever Blue’ podcast - proof positive that I have a great face for radio - alongside Imre Banana 🍌 Varadi & @annabelmbassett asking have City blown it in the PL, can they pull off a miracle against Real Madrid and will we lift the Carabao Cup?

Brand New Podcast alert: Imre Varadi joins us on the #ManCity #foreverblue podcast along with @djwskyblu, writer of Read but never Red to discuss the dip in form & upcoming games 🎧 on.soundcloud.com/yUUfDMFAz2paHX…

Silva: of course it’s better to score early but we mustn’t lose our heads and believe that anything is possible. #ManCity

Silva: Real have had many memorable nights. We want a Manchester City night. With one goal the atmosphere will change. Many people said Madrid had no chance without Bellingham, Mbappe and Rodrigo but they beat us 3-0. #ManCity

Silva: it’s all about the little details, it’s not luck. If you have players in the right place when crosses come in you scores. We would never be shocked by any team selection and nobody is irreplaceable. Obviously we want Erling to play. #ManCity

Silva: I’ll be telling the team that we have to believe Haaland will take his chances and if Nico has that chance Courtois doesn’t have great reflexes and save. I don’t believe in luck it’s about little details. #ManCity

Silva: I didn’t mean the goal on Saturday, I was trying to find Haaland. When I watched the Real game back I couldn’t believe we lost 3-0 because we played quite well but that’s football, no excuses. #ManCity

Silva: if you look at the Treble season now we only have a few players left. We are in transition and we are still learning to play with each other. Having so many new players doesn’t help. These young guys need to learn how to play together. #ManCity

Silva: the earlier we score the better but no matter what we know it can happen. We are capable of creating chance after chance. We know if we concede the tie us over #ManCity

Silva: we have had a day off, like today, we’ve done it before. We’ll be stronger. This sport has taught us a lot can happen. We will fight to the end. Usually after a defeat it’s dark at first but gets better. We know the level we can reach #ManCity

There’s also a video version on YouTube #ManCity podcast 🎥 youtu.be/y5s31fD1wKE

Pep: the important thing is that we don’t see it as a failure if we don’t win. In sport you have to aim to be better next season. There’s no team that wins every game. All big athletes don’t always win. How long do you think about it. There are worse things in the World #ManCity

Pep: tomorrow we’ll train as we would have done today with maybe 1% difference. After 5 minutes tomorrow if Mbappe plays and how that changes things. I won’t give any special messages, it’s like a final. I know we’re going to give it a go #ManCity

Pep: it’s clear to me what team we’ll select tomorrow, perhaps just one doubt, but I know what we need to do. I’m very satisfied with my record of the 50 games I’ve faced Real as a player and a manager #ManCity

Pep: in modern football the training doesn’t make much difference. We’ve done it two or three times this season. Staying at home after so much travelling and games is better. We have to avoid conceding against Madrid. #ManCity

Pep: we can score goals we know that. This is Real Madrid so we have to do it until the end. They have three chances and they scored. We created chances but didn’t. You never know. My favourite comeback was 3-2 against Villa when we were 2-0 down #ManCity

Pep: the task is massive but everything can happen in front of our people. It has to be a perfect performance. We have ideas we have to try it. We have to defend better. We have to try and try and never give up, we know that. We have to be clinical #ManCity
