Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has decided to cancel the team's training session on Monday, giving his players a break ahead of the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 on Tuesday against Real Madrid. The 'Citizens' need to recover from a three-goal deficit after the match at the Santiago Bernabéu, but the team does not seem particularly fresh, having failed to win against West Ham on Saturday and with only one victory in their last four matches across all competitions. On Sunday, Manchester City players had only a recovery session after returning from their trip to London. However, Guardiola determined that the best preparation for tomorrow's game would be to rest his players.
