Pep Guardiola press conference LIVE Man City Champions League team news and injury updates

Pep Guardiola and Bernardo Silva will speak to the media this afternoon ahead of the Champions League round of 16 second leg against Real Madrid.

City are underdogs to progress to the quarter-finals after a 3-0 loss at the Bernabeu last week. Federico Valverde's hat-trick stunned the Blues and has left them with a mountain to climb at the Etihad Stadium.

Overcoming a three-goal deficit is not impossible and City's players insist they can turn the game around, even though Saturday's 1-1 draw at West Ham left the Premier League title race hanging in the balance.

Guardiola will likely answer questions on the mood in the City camp as well as how important this week is for the Blues' season. Erling Haaland looked to injure himself late on against West Ham so an update on his fitness is likely.
