Last night, Kevin De Bruyne said that winning Europe's top award was both a dream and an obsession for the team. Pep Guardiola is confident that his players are ready to make history.
As Guardiola's team attempts to top their semifinal defeat from two years ago, Simone Inzaghi's Inter stand in their way in Turkey.
Guardiola said, "To achieve things, you need to have the right amount of obsession and desire." "The word obsession is a good one. I believe that we are prepared. It is unquestionably a dream.
We are aware of its significance. In the finals, stability is a must. Inter have a longer history than we do, but what matters is that we put in our best effort.
When asked if his desire to win the Champions League could be characterized as "a dream or an obsession," De Bruyne responded, "Maybe both. I have been here for a while. The eight years have been fantastic for me.
But we fell short in this contest. People can only offer us just one tiny reminder. We've been reliable, but we still need to figure out how to win the first one. If we succeed, the players and the club will benefit greatly. If we are successful, we may be able to end that chapter.
Having already won the Premier League and the FA Cup, City will go down in history by emulating Manchester United's legendary Treble club of 1999.
They are the clear favorites to win the championship, but defender Ruben Dias urged against getting comfortable. There are no favorites in this game, he explained, so everyone are free to say whatever they want.
"The sweet spot for us is when the decision [time] comes." In these phases, you can tell a lot about a team's personality, including whether they desire to advance or begin to hide.
"We've always shown up, and Saturday won't be any different." We enjoy the stress.
The Champions League song is often jeered by City supporters, but Guardiola echoed Ilkay Gundogan's pleas for the visiting crowd to enjoy the event.
It's a day to rejoice, according to Guardiola. "Rejoice that you are here. What has happened in the past has already occurred. This competition is amazing. We're here to support UEFA's efforts, therefore we won't be jeering any longer. Try to enjoy yourself.
