When it comes to playing in the Champions League, the coach believes he constantly overthinks things, and he will change his tactics again this week.
Pep Guardiola joked that Manchester City will play Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday with 12 men.
In the first leg of their quarter-final tie, the English and Spanish champions meet in Manchester.
Guardiola accepts that he would have to devise a new approach for the match against Diego Simeone's side, but he may take inspiration from his previous team Bayern Munich, who used 12 players against Freiburg on Saturday.

"I usually overthink in the Champions League," Guardiola stated at a press conference.
"New strategies are being implemented, and you will see a new one tomorrow. I overthink a lot, which is why my Champions League results are so good." If I continually played the same way, it would become monotonous. I don't like it when people assume I play the same way versus Atletico Madrid and Liverpool. "The players are all diverse with various personalities, and the moves are all different." That's why I overthink things and come up with ridiculous strategies. I get an idea tonight, and I'm going to execute great techniques the next day. Tomorrow, we'll play with a total of 12 players!"
While Guardiola's team is praised for their style of play, Simeone's Atletico are frequently chastised for their tactics.
Guardiola, on the other hand, believes the Spanish team deserves more credit than they currently receive and that he has no time for the senseless debate.
"After watching Atletico, there is a misperception about his style of play that is incorrect. He went on to say, "It's more obnoxious than people think.""He doesn't want to take a chance in the build-up, but the last third has quality. When the ball is in our half, their level of competition is determined by location and movement; they know how to play." They are particularly good in these instances during the game. I'm not going to say anything about this pointless dispute "The goal for everyone is to win the game. They are correct if they win, and we are correct if we win. The difference will be there for the players. To be honest, not for a single second."
