The head coach of Manchester City, **[Josep Guardiola](https://www.example.com)**, shared his thoughts ahead of the UEFA Champions League match against Real Madrid in the sixth round of the group stage. The game is scheduled for today, December 10, at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, with the referee’s first whistle set for 23:00 MSK.

“The greatest players who have made a lasting impact over the past decade, like Kevin De Bruyne, Walker, Gundogan, and Stones, are not here. We have many newcomers eager to experience the same emotions as the players of the past. They want to prove that they can achieve what those players accomplished.

The Bernabéu is an excellent venue to showcase yourself and demonstrate what you’re capable of as a team,” Guardiola’s comments were reported by Manchester City’s press service on X.
