great experience."

Mourinho, winner of the European title with Porto and Inter Milan, is a good
chance for Bayern to avenge the English team, who beat him in the final in 2012

Guardiola said that "the quarter-finals are always
characterized by force and difficulty, which applies to our meeting with
Manchester."
Spanish coach added, "We faced a team defends eight
players in the penalty area in front of goalkeeper, our performance was bad, it
did not have only a few opportunities."
He added "But we are qualified to the semi-finals, and
I feel very happy and proud of my strong team. This is the most important stage
in the season, and we are in a very good position."
Guardiola praised heavily on the performance of the Dutch
star Robin / 30 years / who scored the third goal with a solo effort.

we were able to breathe more easily after we have made second and third
goals."
On the other hand, Manchester United continued disappointing
results to come out empty-handed in this difficult season for him, after he
failed to maintain the title of the Premier League, which is made in the last
season, where it is currently in seventh place in the ranking of the contest,
and became very close to not participate in the League Champions in the next
season for the first time since the season 1995-1996, as the team also failed
to win the FA Cup and English League Cup this season.
The artistic director of Manchester David Moyes said "The
exit against Bayern (defending champion) is not something shameful."
Moyes Added "There were some positive points, I think
we did what we should have done and made things look tough on them. Technically,
we tried to narrow the space in front of them, and we do it for long periods.
And I feel very disappointed for wasting all the opportunities that we had to
add a second goal and our inability to withstand in the end. "
The management of the game by Moyes criticized by Gary
Neville Former England star of the team, who confirmed that, the team he should
do better than that during the game, especially after advancing with a goal.
Neville Said to (Sky Sports) television, "The
management of the game following the progress with a goal was pretty bad from
Manchester for about 15 minutes.
"Even after the late half in 71 minutes, they should
maintain that conclusion even before the end of five minutes, then repeat try
again in another way. But they did not stop the onslaught launched by the
Bayern players on them."
“Manchester after scoring the goal, the players need to
stand up for five or ten minutes at least, but the killer equalizer came after just
one minute, and I think it negatively affected the psychological aspect of the
players until the end of the game."
