What a man Pep Guardiola is. He is behind Man City 100 per cent. That will give the players great confidence and belief. I hope we all can wait for the outcome of the appeal and be patient.

"I know how good they are because in the last two years they won the last two Champions Leagues - that shows how good they are but at the same time, again, I don't know if we're close, far, but for sure, we are a good team."

We've been quite poor in the first half of games recently. PSG could quite easily put us to the sword if we're not careful. Maybe I'll get excited if we're not behind by half time.

It is still his house for what he has done here, I think it is exciting for everyone."

It's four-seasons-in-one-day kind of weather in Manchester.
It was tipping it down a little earlier and there were puddles outside the main entrance to Etihad Stadium when I walked past on the way to this news conference.
Right now, the sun is shining.
But the storm clouds that have engulfed Manchester City in the past few days are not going away.
What will Enzo Maresca and Ruben Dias say?
We're about to find out.
Man City v Paris St-Germain (Wed, 20:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesPep Guardiola's defiant tone has been echoed by his predecessor, current Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca.
He was asked after Sunday's statement win at Liverpool whether the off-field issues could help galvanise his team:
"Probably yes, probably no. I don't know. It can create togetherness with the fans. I said during the week, bring the passion, bring the noise and hopefully we can celebrate a win.
"This is the only thing we can focus on."
Man City v Paris St-Germain (Wed, 20:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesIt is impossible to say what the Manchester City players are feeling about the club's situation, but in the first game since being found guilty of breaching Premier League's financial regulations they stood up well to a hostile atmosphere inside Anfield before clinching a 3-0 win over Liverpool.
The Liverpool fans made their feelings known before and during the game with constant "cheat" jibes, but City responded with a measured display before picking the Reds apart after they had been reduced to 10 men when Ryan Gravenberch was sent off.
Second-half goals quickly followed the red card, with senior stars Erling Haaland, substitute Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki all finding the net.

Image source, Getty ImagesAs mentioned, Manchester City's Champions League-winning manager Pep Guardiola has vowed to return to the Etihad Stadium for Wednesday's tie against Paris St-Germain.
It will be Guardiola's first visit since leaving his position as manager over the summer.
The Spaniard's planned visit will also be his first appearance at the club since City were found guilty of financial breaches.
As mentioned, City have been found guilty of all charges related to breaches of the Premier League's financial rules between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons - Guardiola took over as City boss in summer 2016.
Guardiola posted his support of the club on his social media platforms when the guilty verdict was announced.
"I want every single Manchester City fan across the world to know I am here; more than ever," he wrote in a social media post.
"I am, always have been, always will, be behind my club, my owner, my chairman, Ferran [Soriano], the players, staff, [manager] Enzo [Maresca] and you, our unique supporters.
"Let me be clear: we will get through this together. I love you all."
Man City v Paris St-Germain (Wed, 20:00 BST)
One central question for Enzo Maresca when he faces the media today will be how he and his players plan to approach this European campaign, given that it could be the club's last for the foreseeable future?
Manchester City has had a complicated relationship with the Champions League and Uefa.
Many City fans still boo the Champions League anthem following a series of incidents that came to a head with a fan protest against Uefa, after 650 CSKA Moscow supporters gained access to the Arena Khimki for their Champions League game in October 2014, despite the Russian club being ordered to play it behind closed doors.
Uefa's subsequent case against the club for breaching its financial fair play rules, which led to a ban that was ultimately overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, only added further fuel to that fire.
City, however, have continued to enjoy great success in the Champions League, regularly making the closing stages of the competition and reaching the final on two occasions - losing to Chelsea in 2020-21 before beating Inter Milan for their one and only success in 2022-23.

Image source, Getty ImagesEuropean football's governing body cannot take any action while the Premier League disciplinary process plays out, but it is understood that potential scenarios are likely to be discussed by the Uefa administration and the Uefa club financial control body (CFCB).
The Premier League case found Manchester City guilty of five charges of breaching Uefa's profit and sustainability rules.
Uefa may open a case in accordance with the disciplinary regulations to find a way to remove City's eligibility.
But this does not provide certainly as City's offences are historical.
In 2020, City successfully overturned their two-year ban from European club competitions handed down by Uefa.
Uefa issued the ban after ruling City had committed "serious breaches" of financial fair play regulations between 2012 and 2016 - within the same period as the Premier League's investigation (2009-10 to 2016-17).
But the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) overturned the ban because the offences were "time-barred" under Uefa's rules.
If City are not successful in their appeal and win the Champions League, the CFCB will have to find a disciplinary measure to remove the club from next season's competition.
Yet with City already having won against Uefa through Cas once before, there is the concern they could do so again.

If a club fulfils all minimum criteria required for admission, the Uefa licence cannot be refused.
The key reasons a club may fail relate to overdue payables to other teams, players or outstanding tax liabilities.
Match-fixing convictions within the last 10 years, or an integrity conflict related to multi-club ownership, are considered but would not apply to Manchester City.
A source added that "licences are awarded on the basis of current financial performance, so the grounds to refuse one are unclear".
If the verdict is upheld by the appeal board it is likely City will face severe sanctions, which could include heavy points deductions, a large fine and transfer embargoes.
The sanctioning hearing, which will determine the level of punishment City must face, is yet to be scheduled.
While a points deduction could rule City out of qualifying for European competition next season by league position, it might still be achieved through cup competitions - the Champions League, FA Cup or Carabao Cup.

BBC Sport has spoken to a number of senior figures within the game who are concerned about the prospect of Manchester City qualifying for the Champions League next season.
The feeling is that if City do not win their appeal and are therefore handed a strong sanction, then being allowed to compete alongside Europe's elite, and receiving the financial rewards which come with it, would not be acceptable.
The immediate issue surrounds the Uefa licence, which every club needs in order to play in Europe.
One source said the issue of City's licence "had been raised" and that a solution "would require the sort of joined up thinking that's been a bit lacking so far".
The licences are issued by the Football Association, though the process itself is delegated to the Premier League.
The licences are based upon current information which does not take into account sanctions or breaches related to historical offences.
