MANCHESTER, Sept 18 — Pep Guardiola said Manchester City have not done “anything special” by winning just one Champions League as the holders prepare to launch the defence of their crown.
Guardiola’s men, who have won all five of their Premier League matches this season, face former champions Red Star Belgrade at the Etihad on Tuesday. “But there are a lot to win two, three, four, five. In perspective, we didn’t do anything special, just one. For us the club didn’t have it, to be part of that proud.”
Guardiola said his team might find it easier to defend their trophy than win it for the first time — their recent triumph came after years of agonising near-misses.The Champions League final this season will be held at Wembley, but Guardiola said that was not in his thoughts.
