On Sunday, after the match at Anfield, you interacted with players and fans. Tomorrow you'll be back at the Etihad playing in front of our home supporters. How excited are you for this match?

Very excited. As you said, after beating Liverpool, the feeling is incredible. But that's in the past, and now I'm focused on tomorrow's evening match. I hope to share another great moment with the fans after the match.

We hear that Guardiola will be attending tomorrow's match. Will you speak with him? What does his presence on the pitch mean for you and the players?

I spoke with him a few days after the Manchester United match, and we haven't spoken since. If he comes, it will be a special feeling for him. This is the place where he fought for ten years and succeeded. This will be his home. I think everyone will be excited.

Do you have many conversations with players before matches? Do you prepare a specific message for the team? Last Saturday's match at Anfield was difficult and intense, and tomorrow you'll play in front of your home supporters. The two matches are completely different.

Tomorrow's message is very simple. We need to play a complete match. Why? Because our opponents are currently the strongest team in Europe. They've won the last two consecutive Champions League titles, which proves how powerful they are. We need to play completely. At the same time, if we give everything, we have the opportunity to beat them and celebrate after the match.

Over the next few days, I think the harmony between Manchester City's players and supporters will be a significant advantage we can rely on. What do you want to say to Manchester City supporters at the Etihad?

As I mentioned before, the match we played at Anfield was incredibly good. We all know the atmosphere of that stadium. But from the beginning, our supporters were there, and they showed their enthusiasm and support. I hope they do the same tomorrow evening. We need that kind of support. Not just for tomorrow, but also for the upcoming Premier League home match against Ipswich. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. I've been here since winning the treble, and I know how special the atmosphere is at a Champions League evening match. I hope tomorrow will be the same.

In your opinion, what are Manchester City's chances of winning the Champions League this season? Do you think PSG is at a higher level, or do you feel we're at a similar level?

No, I think we're definitely a good team. There's no doubt about that. As for where we stand compared to PSG right now, to be honest, I don't know. I know PSG is very strong. They've won the last two consecutive Champions League titles, which proves that. But whether the gap between us and them is big, small, or close — I can't say. What I can confirm is that we ourselves are also strong.

After the match at Anfield, there was a lot of criticism. Including celebrations by you and the players. How do you feel about these comments?

What criticism?

Many people are saying that your celebrations after the match were excessive. What's your view on that?

We won 3-0 at Anfield. What else do people want us to do? Even if we had won 1-0, our celebration would be the same. We're here now, and the players are focused on winning tomorrow's match. We train every day to win. That's the only thing we should focus on. Everything else is noise from outside, and we're learning how to deal with it. We're really enjoying ourselves on the pitch, and you can't imagine the joy in the dressing room. Thank you.

Regarding Guardiola's attendance, will you invite him to the training ground or the dressing room before the match?

I spoke with him after the Manchester United match. I don't know his schedule. I don't know if he'll go directly to the pitch or to the training ground. His presence will be exciting for the supporters. However, I don't have further details at the moment.
