Despite playing for the Bundesliga title against Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday, Pep Guardiola seems more focused on bouncing back against Atlético next week.
Following the Bavarians' 1-0 loss against Los Colchoneros, Guardiola went on and criticized those who have "left him for dead" in the continental tournament, and while doing that, he hinted a plan to defeat Simeone's men at Allianz Arena.
"I have one bullet left, I'm not dead yet. After Wednesday's game, everyone has ruled us out, but my players have shown they are capable of fighting back to win the series. We're lucky to have this challenge upon us and full of energy for what's coming up," Guardiola said during Friday's press conference.
In what will be his 100th game coaching Bayern in the Bundesliga, Guardiola could lead Die Roten to a fourth straight domestic title, something never seen before. Despite only needing one point to secure the championship, the Spanish coach was wary of their opponents' chances of shocking them.
"Borussia is one of the most uncomfortable teams to play against. They have dynamic players on their roster, and they could complicate things for us if we don't respect them," the Catalunyan coach added.
Finally, Guardiola revealed he will choose to rotate his squad with the intention of having his top guns fit for Tuesday's clash against Atlético. One of those players who could have some minutes of playing time could be Jerome Boateng, who recently recovered from a long-term injury.
