"We have to give everything", says Guardiola

FC Porto’s win over German giants in the first leg of quarter finals was quite a shocking result and manager Pep Guardiola believes that his team has to work their sweat off in order to topple the 3-1 deficit and knock out FC Porto from the champions league. He further admits that the ‘Bundesliga leaders’ have to get an astounding result in the 2^nd leg of the quarter finals after slipping through a shocking defeat in Portugal last week.

In the first leg, Bayern Munich failed miserably in their defensive line and Porto took full advantage of the situation and capitalized on it to triumph the game. Quaresma scored twice in the opening 10 minutes of the game, out of which one was penalty. Bayern got their one back in the 27^th minute when Thiago netted, but Jackson Martinez capped the day for the Portugal giants by making the scoreline 3-1 in the 65^th minute.

FC Porto’s first leg result result means that they have extended their unbeaten run in the competition and is becoming a tough contender, while Bayern Munich have to find a way in their den if they want to reach the semi-final of the Champions league at all.

Guardiola in a recent prees conference said, “This is a big club, so you can’t say we are in a cosy situation, If you win, you’re a genius. If you lose, you have lots of problems but that’s the nature of my job. It isn’t enough to win the Bundesliga and the cup. Only a treble is enough for a club like Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern but I am proud to be here with these players.”

Bayern Munich is currently dealing with lots of injury problem, with the likes of Robben, Ribery, Alaba, Benatia and Martinez are all out due to injuries but one good news is that Bastian Schweinsteiger is fit to play the game tonight in the Allianz Arena.

So, lets see whether Bayern Munich can do the impossible and reach the semi-finals of football's most elite competition.
