I fear getting sacked if Man City fail to beat Real Madrid in Champions League, says Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said his job at the Premier League club may be on the line if they fail to win the Champions League title this season.

City have won five major domestic trophies since Guardiola took over in 2016 — including two Premier League titles and an historic domestic treble last year — but have never progressed past the quarter-final stage of the Champions League since the Spaniard’s arrival.

Former European champions Real Madrid await in the last-16 this season, with the first leg to be played later this month, and Guardiola said he is keen on getting his hands on the trophy he last won with Barcelona in 2011.
