Man City Boss Pep Guardiola Is Very Angry With The Club’s Fixture List

Pep Guardiola says he does not “understand” the scheduling of Manchester City’s fixtures – but is beyond fighting against it.

Premier League leaders City face Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday, little more than 72 hours before they take on Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final.

Real are in La Liga action against Getafe on Saturday and therefore have an extra day’s rest.

“It is what it is,” said Guardiola.

The Spaniard added: “I can’t understand it but I’m not going to fight it any more.

“I don’t understand it but we have to adapt.”

Sunday’s trip to Merseyside is a crucial match at both ends of the Premier League, with City looking to maintain their lead over Arsenal at the top and 17th-placed Everton battling to avoid relegation.
