Pep Guardiola is determined not to allow Manchester City’s past failures to weigh them down as they pursue Champions League glory.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he is focus on what is to come and believes his side will not be affected with past experience in the Champions League.

City has the advantage going into the second leg against the German side following their 3-0 in the first leg in Etihad.

They will be expected to complete the job against the Germans in the return meeting at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.

Guardiola said at a press conference: “If you think about just the result, what you have to do, or what we’ve done in the past, it would be a big mistake for us. We have to do our game. That is how we’ve talked the last few days.

“We are focused a lot on what we want to do, trying not just to control the game but punish them, trying to score, understand the game and not just the fact we are here in Munich against one of the most prestigious, historic teams in this competition.

“I don’t understand a situation just to come here and defend something. We come here to play a football game, 11 men against 11. We try to do better than the opponent in this specific game.”
