Guardiola explains crucial 60 seconds versus Real Madrid
After a first half in which Real Madrid looked dangerous and relatively comfortable, Pep Guardiola sent out his Manchester City team with an attacking intent in the second half. As he explained in his post-match press conference, the opening stages of the second half signalled their purpose and changed the game.
“The first half we spoke to try to play, to attack but it was not possible especially for the quality from the opponents,” said Guardiola . “When you are there on the sidelines and you see the quality, personality, charisma they have - it looked like they were playing a friendly, they've played this kind of event 1000 times.
“We suffered a little bit from the pressure to play with the result and what we have to do but in the second half it helped us to play with the wingers wider and in one minute we had two chances.
“We showed for ourselves what we wanted to do. We showed to our opponents as well what we wanted to do, we didn't just want to defend 1-1, we wanted to score goals. We created enough chances to score more goals, unfortunately, we couldn't do it. [Thibaut] Courtois made an incredible save. It was more than deserved for us to be in the next stage.”
Gabriel Jesus handed ultimate compliment
Over the two-leg 4-2 victory against Real Madrid, Gabriel Jesus scored twice and provided an assist. He also showed a relentless work-rate, willing to play out of position to provide defensive balance and structure to the City team.
On Friday, Guardiola subsequently singled out Jesus for special and deserved praise.
“This competition can punish you, we know from our experience but Gab made his contribution, he’s the best guy for these situations,” he said . “He’s the man of the match for these two games, he was decisive for us. He helped us when we suffered in the bad moments.”
Guardiola also commented on the importance of the combined impact Jesus working extremely hard and scoring goals.
“Gabriel always helps us through more than goals but for a striker, it is important to score,” he said. “Big players have to show in the biggest stages in the big games and he showed it twice against the kings of this competition.

Sancho in United WhatsApp group
Jadon Sancho has reportedly been added to a private WhatsApp group with several United players as preparations for his move to Old Trafford ramp up.
According to journalist Ian McGarry of the Transfer Window Podcast , Sancho has been in regular contact with several players at United, stating that the club feel ‘comfortable’ in their current position.
“Manchester United are comfortable at this moment in time that they're not in any competition for the signature of Jadon Sancho,” he said. “They don't believe they're going to be gazumped by no other club because no other club has expressed the same level of interest.
“They're also very confident the player wants to come to Old Trafford. He has been in constant touch with England international colleagues who currently play for Manchester United and indeed in daily contact with them.
“It's even believed he's on a WhatsApp group with some of the Manchester United players as well. Therefore United are very comfortable with their position, they believe that Dortmund will come round to the structure that they've suggested.”
Solskjaer must be ruthless with reserve players
As Manchester United step up their interest in Jadon Sancho and playmaker Jack Grealish, adding depth and versatility to their midfield and wide options, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must continue his ruthless streak with three depth players, writes Dominic Booth in MEN Sport .
Solskjaer had moved on from Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard and Andreas Perreira in the closing stages of last season. The arrival of Bruno Fernandes, emergence of Mason Greenwood, and resurrection of Paul Pogba made them surplus to requirements, and now it is time for United to move on, per Booth.
“You suspect if they can land the Aston Villa playmaker, there may only be room for one of Pereira, Mata and Lingard — with the latter at least in the goals again to send a message over his future,” he argues. “The reality is that United will probably keep hold of two of these three peripheral players.
“But Solskjaer showed months ago that he can be ruthless when the occasion requires. This summer is the time for him to show those qualities once again.”

United injury boost for Europa League
After securing their place in the Europa League quarter-finals this week, Manchester United received an injury boost ahead of their tie against FC Copenhagen.
The squad jetted off on Saturday as they made their way to the quarter-final tie. Prior to departing, the squad arrived at Carrington for one final training session with two first-team players in tow, suggesting that they could be available for Monday’s contest against Copenhagen.
Diogo Dalot, who missed the midweek win over LASK in the Round of 16, and Victor Lindelof both trained with the first team, per sources of MEN Sport .
Whether they are able to feature from the off remains to be seen, but Lindelof has been a consistent starter throughout the season alongside Harry Maguire, while Dalot offers depth and versatility at either full-back position and even in midfield if needed.

Anthony Baguley, 37, has been locked up for 14 months after pleading guilty to burglary.
His co-defendant Alex Cuthbert, 36, was handed a four month sentence suspended for 18 months after pleading guilty to the same offence.
In a post on the GMP Tameside Facebook page, PC Martin Jones said the pair were involved in a burglary at a garden centre in Ashton on June 27.
They went into the garden centre and stole the till and its contents.
Both suspects made off from the scene but Cuthbert was quickly apprehended, PC Jones said.
Baguley was identified as the second male and was arrested hours later.
At Minshull Street Crown Court, Baguley, of Oldham Road, Failsworth, was jailed for 14 months and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £156.
Cuthbert, of Waddicor Avenue, Ashton, appeared at Stockport Magistrates Court and was sentenced to four months suspended for 18 months and ordered to pay compensation of £600.
Woman 'turned nasty' after break-up and stalked ex and his new girlfriend in horror two-year campaign
A stalker made her ex-partner and his new girlfriend's life a 'misery' by making 'appalling' threats, including saying she'd 'petrol bomb' her home, throw hot water over her and give her a 'permanent smile'.
Stacey Drummond, 41, has been jailed following the near two-year ordeal suffered by her victims.
Manchester Crown Court heard the couple's split following a seven year relationship was initially 'amicable', but that Drummond later 'turned nasty'.
Drummond, from Wilmslow, started sending abusive text messages to her ex, including calling his new partner a 'fat skanky tramp'.
She threatened to 'pay a visit to your new slut', and warned 'she’s getting done in mate'.
Drummond was arrested last month.
Now she has been jailed for 21 months, and a restraining order was passed indefinitely, preventing her from contacting her ex or his new partner.
Drummond, of Delamere Road, Handforth, pleaded guilty to two counts of putting a person in fear of violence by harassment, one count of stalking involving serious alarm or distress, and two counts of a less serious form of harassment.
The drugs courier who ran across the M62 to escape police - only to be found hours later trying to book into a hotel
A drugs courier ran across the M62 to avoid being caught, only to be found hours later trying to book into a hotel.
Royn Duhausse, 24, was stopped by police in a Seat on the eastbound carriageway of the motorway, at junction 25 near Huddersfield.
As he was handcuffed, Duhausse managed to evade the police and ran across the other side of the carriageway, in the early evening on June 24.
Police discovered two-and-a-half kilos of cannabis in the boot of the car, which had been driven by a woman.
She was held but wasn't prosecuted, after Duhausse told officers she had no knowledge of the drugs.
Hours later, Duhausse was found by police in Brighouse, west Yorkshire, trying to book into a Holiday Inn.
He gave officers a false name, but when they took his fingerprints his true identity was revealed.
Duhausse, of no fixed address, was jailed for 18 months after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply cannabis, entering the UK in breach of a deportation order, and obstructing a constable.
The trio who targeted Raheem Sterling's mansion in £600k spree
Three burglars who targeted the homes of celebrities, including Manchester footballer Raheem Sterling, have been jailed.
The trio went on a burglary spree targeting at least 14 homes across England in just over a year stealing property to a total value of more than £600,000, police said.
City star Sterling’s mansion in Goostrey, Cheshire, was targeted by the gang in November 2018 - but they left empty-handed after being scared away when the alarm system was activated.
Ten days later, the three men checked into a hotel in Buckinghamshire, where they broke into Jamiroquai singer Jay Kay’s home.
The singer’s housekeeper noticed an upstairs window was open and found a camera had been stolen, a court heard.
Other homes targeted by the gang included the homes of Bury FC chairman Steve Dale and Mansfield Town FC owner John Radford.
Thomas Mee, 42, Vincent Ball, 52, and John Barlow, 58, all from Liverpool, were sentenced at Chester Crown Court this afternoon after admitting conspiracy to burgle.
Mee, of HMP Altcourse, who also admitted handling stolen goods, was jailed for eight years and seven months.
Getaway driver Ball, of Ranworth Place, Liverpool, was sentenced to six years and nine months, while Barlow, of no fixed address, was jailed for seven years and six months.

(Image: GMP)
A thief stole a partially-sighted woman's hat and abused a police officer while 'off his head' on booze.
Abdullah Duale, 32, targeted the 72-year-old victim moments after she missed her bus home from Bolton late one evening.
After the woman demanded her hat back, he became 'aggressive' and followed her on to a bus as she tried to escape.
When later arrested, he told police he was 'very drunk' and had also taken two grams of heroin.
But his rowdy behaviour did not end there.
After being taken to hospital, he directed a tirade of abuse towards police officers and fellow patients.
At Bolton Crown Court Duale was jailed for 12 months.
Duale, of Shrewsbury Road, Bolton, pleaded guilty to charges of theft, harassment and possession of cannabis at a previous hearing.
He was also hit with a £120 fine from magistrates in relation to the sectarian abuse.

(Image: Manchester Evening News)
A man found with hoards of Nazi paraphernalia has been jailed for eight weeks after writing racist abuse aimed at a prospective neighbour who wanted to move in across the road.
52-year-old Andrew Howard had watched the family from his doorstep as they viewed the empty house. The next day, he spray painted 'We don’t want Muslims here' across the front of the property, alongside signs stating: “No Muslims here, f*** off”, and “you’re not wanted here, you Musrat scum, f*** off back to your own country,” Manchester Magistrates Court heard.
The family were going to move into the house but, after Howard's racist graffiti, decided against it.
A police search of Howard's house revealed a vast array of Nazi flags - that were hung inside - a picture of Adolf Hitler, swastikas and copies of ‘Mein Kampf’.
Officer’s also discovered a room containing ‘sophisticated radio equipment’ and phone numbers - the door to the room had a sign reading: “Do good for the community - shoot a P***”.
Howard, of Newton Heath, pleaded guilty to one offence of racially aggravated harassment.
Howard, of Woodgarth Avenue, was sentenced to eight weeks imprisonment and ordered to pay £200 compensation.
The items found at his house were forfeited and destroyed.
The driver who killed two while playing games and using Facebook on motorway
A driver who killed a 14-year-old boy and a woman and seriously injured five in a horror smash on the M58 has been jailed.
The heavy goods vehicle careered ‘like a 19-tonne battering ram’ into a minibus holding students on their way to a special needs school, leaving a 50-year-old pupil transport assistant and 14-year-old boy dead.
Just one minute before the impact, the driver was texting his mum about flight prices and use apps on his phone, including Facebook and Sky Sports.
He had been doing this during the entire journey on the morning of the crash.
James Majury, 33, was “effectively driving with his eyes closed” on the morning January 8, 2019, the court heard.
Majury was sentenced after pleading guilty to two counts of death by dangerous driving and five counts of serious injury by dangerous driving.
Judge Altham handed down a sentence of eight years and 10 months in prison for the two counts of death by dangerous driving. He was sentenced to two years and eight months for the counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving - the sentences are to be served concurrently.
Majury is banned from driving for nine years and 11 months, but the judge said the majority of that disqualification will be served in prison.
Former PCSO jailed after sending text messages of a sexual nature to a woman - and having sex while on duty with a second woman
A former police community support officer who sent text messages of a sexual nature and photographs of himself to a woman has been jailed.

On one occasion he attempted to kiss her, police watchdog the Independent Office for Police Conduct has revealed.
Investigations found he also had sex with a second woman while on duty, the IOPC said.
Barber, a former PCSO with Cheshire Police, was subsequently charged with two counts of misconduct in public office.
He pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced at Chester Crown Court to eight months in prison.

Soon after Webber became aggressive, saying 'I'll fight you' and 'I'll stab you'.
"I will go to prison, I don't care, I'm bored," he continued.
The victim feared Webber may have a knife, but no blade was produced.

“Over an eight month period they systematically siphoned more than £45,000 from the accounts of innocent members of the public by purchasing items using stolen account details,” she said.
“They even had the audacity claim refunds of a number of these items and had the money put into their own personal accounts. This resulted in the group receiving more than £16,000.
“Even being in a lockdown during the coronavirus crisis did not stop the women in their pursuit for the luxury life. When high street stores were closed, they started targeting off-licences and petrol stations where they purchased large quantities of alcohol and cigarettes along with hundreds of pounds worth of Lottery tickets.
“Thankfully, their illegal spending spree has been stopped and they are all now facing the consequences of their actions.”

Detective Chief Inspector Clare Coleman, crime manager at Cheshire Constabulary, added: “Today’s sentencing is the culmination of a lengthy and complex investigation spanning many force borders.
"This has focused on hundreds of fraud offences committed across the North West.

“Each one was carefully planned and fraudulent bank details were used to purchase high-value items from stores in Cheshire, Merseyside, Lancashire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester and Derbyshire.
“The women committed the offences in order to fund their lavish lifestyles, buying expensive clothing, perfumes and designer sunglasses.

“It is clear that they had no thought as to the impact of their actions on both the businesses they were targeting and the legitimate customers whose credit card details they decided to steal.
“Thankfully, as a result of the joint investigation by officers from Cheshire and Merseyside, three of the women are now behind bars.”
Detective Sergeant Paul Kay, from Merseyside Police’s Economic Crime Team, said: “This type of fraud is not victimless as the majority of these fraudulent transactions were charged-back to the store making them the loser and in some cases the loss to the store was greater than their weekly turnover.
“Also a number of staff members who dealt with the fraudsters were given written warnings for conducting the transactions and in one case particular a member of staff was suspended and nearly sacked for not identifying the fraudulent transactions.

“We are committed to finding the people who are responsible for committing fraud and bringing them to justice and I would urge anyone who spots any suspicious activity which they believe to fraudulent to contact us or Action Fraud so that action can be taken to bring these people to justice.”
Following their sentencing, a Proceeds of Crime hearing will take place where a decision will be made regarding the seizure, and possible sale of, any assets owned by the women.

Cheshire Police and Crime Commissioner, David Keane, added: “Today’s sentencing is testament to the dedication and commitment by the officers and staff at both Cheshire Constabulary and Merseyside Police to disrupt criminal activity and to continue to keep our communities safe.
“Fraud is often seen a victimless crime, but behind each incident lies a victim who has often lost a vast amount of money.
"Many of the victims targeted in this case were small, independent businesses and the actions of the offenders had a major impact on their livelihoods.
“I would like to personally thank all of the officers involved in this case and I hope that the sentencing of these four women will provide reassurance to the victims and also act as a warning for other offenders.”
