Pep Guardiola downplaying Man City's brilliance - Gladbach's Andre Schubert

Borussia Monchengladbach coach Andre Schubert believes Pep Guardiola is downplaying the brilliance of his Manchester City side.

Speaking on the eve of City's Champions League Group C opener against the Germans at the Etihad Stadium, City manager Guardiola stressed the need for his side to improve in all areas.

This came despite City earning widespread praise for a lot of their play in Saturday's derby victory over archrivals Manchester United in the Premier League.

Schubert now needs to get the better of Guardiola to ensure his team get off to a good start in a difficult group that also includes competition favourites Barcelona and Scottish champions Celtic.
