Why would he not say it? He could have said that he wanted his players to preserve energy, it's nothing bad, but he didn't. City are not a team that goes easy if they can demolish you, they have proved it on numerous occasions and it would mean so much to destroy us in particular. Why would they spare us an embarrassing result?
At 3-0 the leg is won. He’s confident they can win at home in the next leg. He would have told them to keep it tight, keep a clean sheet and conserve energy. When Pep wins he’s usually respectful of the opposition.
