Expects Arsenal fight
Guardiola says Bayern Munich players to brace themselves for a difficult game against Arsenal:
For them, they have an advantage because they have to win, when that happens with these kind of players, and the history of this club, they are going to make the best performance possible. I don’t expect anything other than a fight for the 90 minutes. We have to look for another way to compete against them because of the enthusiasm they will have, so we will have to be intelligent and control our game. Of course I prefer to come here with six points, but I can imagine my team with zero points and playing in Germany against Arsenal. I can imagine the mentality of my team – we would be an animal, because it is our last chance, you give everything and that will happen with Arsenal, so you have to be prepared.
Bayern Munich 1-0 Man City
Bayern win through a late strike by Jerome Boateng, who comes through against his former side in the 89th minute to give them the first Champions League competition win. The hosts get most of the chances in the first 45 minutes of the competition through Thomas Muller and Robert Lewandowski but thier strikes round the keeper and side netting, while the visitors get their own chance through David Silva, whose attempt is stopped at the post by Manuel Neur. Manuel Pellegrini serves his last match of the coach touchline ban.
