Guardiola warns of Bayern threat as Man City boss chases 100th Champions League win in record time

Pep Guardiola believes Manchester City face a stiff test of character against a Bayern Munich side whose defiance he says is in their skin .

Although City lead 3-0 from the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final, Guardiola claims his side will on Wednesday be facing a Bayern team who firmly believe they can turn the tie around.

City have looked to have ties wrapped up before and then imploded, most recently in last season s semi-finals when they led Real Madrid 5-3 on aggregate as stoppage time approached in the second leg, only to still be knocked out.

Asked whether he was more confident than before in his group of players getting the job done, Guardiola said on Tuesday: I would like to say yes, but I don t know. Every game is completely different.
