Pep Guardiola says Manchester City want to impose their game when they meet Real Madrid in their postponed Champions League match on Friday, believing his side are ready to face the 13-time champions. City host Zinedine Zidane’s team in the second leg of their last-16 tie, leading 2-1 after their win in the Bernabeu in February. “We want to play our own game,” the City boss said at his pre-match press conference on Thursday. “We want to impose our own style on the game, whether we’re defending or playing on the counter-attack or whether Madrid are countering. “That’s my feeling, we are ready.”But Guardiola warned that it was vital for his side to cut out the defensive mistakes that have hurt his side this season.
