And the Catalan giants were in the driving seat for most of the match to be could not convert their superiority into goals as Guardiola's men failed to find the target for only the fourth time in 2011-12 in we played well and he had possession of the ball and we dominated, Guardiola told reporters after their quarter-final 1st-leg encounter to the half-time, I told my players not to take too many risks in despite that we had 17 shots on target while playing with nine players from our youth ranks.

A fans must show up in the second leg. These players have given too many things to be left alone to know that the fans will come and the guardiola then followed in the footsteps of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was highly critical of the condition of the pitch at San Siro during the Gunners Round of 16 tie against the Rossoneri for the AC Milan should take some measures, Guardiola explained and we play do not think that Inter and Milan want a pitch with these conditions.If the referee did not award us those two penalties, it is because he did not see them, the 41-year-old said.
