Guardiola reveals Man City in 'big trouble' ahead of Liverpool semi-final

Pep Guardiola has admitted Manchester City are in 'big trouble' with injuries following Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final with Atletico Madrid.

City advanced to the final four thanks to a goalless draw in the Spanish capital, having won the first leg 1-0.

The match came just three days after a 2-2 draw with Liverpool,, who they will also face in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday.

Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker both hobbled off against Atleti, while Phil Foden was targeted throughout the match.

Speaking to BT Sport, Guardiola said: "We are in big trouble, so we can't forget we played three days ago, travelled, come here, have a lot of injuries now and I don't know what will happen in the next weeks but today we celebrate because it is the third time in Manchester City's history we are in the Champions League semi-finals.

"We cannot play all the time and score four or five goals, we are human beings - we come from a difficult game against Liverpool."
