City coach, Pep Guardiola does not want their success in the
derby against Jose Mourinho’s Manchester to shift their focus from
Tuesday’s Champions League opener against German side, Borussia
Monchengladbach.
City overcame United 2-1 at the Old Trafford on Saturday and will
attempt to extend their 100 per cent record under Guardiola when the
Bundesliga side visit the Etihad Stadium.
United came on strong after an error from goalkeeper Claudio Bravo
allowed Zlatan Ibrahimovic to get a goal back on the stroke of
half-time.
And Guardiola reminded his in-form players there is still plenty of
room for improvement, particularly when it comes to taking on elite
opposition, at home and away.
He said in a pre-match news conference ahead of the Champion League
game, “We made good things and bad things [at the derby] but it’s just
three points. Of course we’re happy but we have to improve.”
“We have to improve a lot of things. We are first in the Premier
League but the way we have played so far will not be enough to win the
Premier League.”
