Pep Guardiola tells his Manchester City stars its 'normal' to feel anxious and nervous ahead of Champions League final... and insists he won't insist on extra team meetings as the match gets nearer

Pep Guardiola has called on his Manchester City squad to squash any anxiety as they bid to make history on Saturday night.

City go into a first Champions League final against Chelsea after years of heartache in the competition also hoping to secure a treble.

Guardiola revealed that he is likely to leave his players to their own devices ahead of the final and delivered a pointed message to those not picked.

‘I know exactly the way we want to play, with who we're going to play and I'm not going to bother them much,’ the City boss said.
