Guardar

Madrid, 18 Mar Manchester City football director Txiki Beguiristain highlighted “the strength” of Atletico Madrid, which he will face in the Champions League quarterfinals, and the career of the rojiblancos in the competition, in which they overcame “the worst group” and eliminated Manchester United. “They come from a brutal group stage, the worst group, very difficult and they overcame it. And now they have surpassed Manchester United, with which they played a much better game at home, extraordinary, and they went after them,” he said. Speaking to Movistar at the end of the draw, Beguiristain spoke of the difference in styles between the two teams, whose winner in the quartermatch will be matched with the one who passes the tie between English Chelsea and Real Madrid. “They have a clear entity. They are very different styles with the same goals: to win and satisfy. We have the ball, they defend very well, they are very solid, but they have the enormous quality of their players to do cons”, he added. CHIEF WMO/GMO
