In order to break their Champions League ice, Pep Guardiola has advised his Manchester City players to not let their past defeats weigh them down.
After 12 consecutive seasons in the competition, City will take on Thomas Tuchel's Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal match at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night. City is hoping that this will be the year they finally lift the cup.
Under Guardiola, City has advanced to the round of eight six times in a row, although they were eliminated by Real Madrid in agonizing fashion in the semi-finals last May, a year after losing the championship game 1-0 to a Chelsea team coached by Tuchel.
