"We play Wednesday against Madrid in the second leg here so we could play Saturday or Sunday in the FA Cup. Coventry, United, Chelsea, they are on holidays for one week. Why are we playing Saturday? Every year we play Saturday," said Guardiola.
"Why don't they give us one more day when Coventry, Chelsea, United they don't play (in the) Champions League or Europa League? Why don't we play on Sunday?
"For the broadcasters are we going to fight? Their answer - I pay a lot of money. That's why. So we play Saturday. Just understand it from my point of view. The broadcasters have their own decisions and after I defend my club.
"We will play Saturday of course. We will go to London to play Chelsea, Chelsea will not come here. We go to London five hours, we will travel, no problem, we will go there. I have experience of that.
"We play in the quarter-finals many times in the last year and when the second leg is Wednesday every time after we play Saturday - all the time. And when you play away, in Dortmund, arrive Thursday afternoon back here and Friday take a train or plane to London, four or five hours. And on Saturday we play against Liverpool, Chelsea or all the incredible teams. We are exhausted."
