Juventus coach Thiago Motta is paying no attention to Manchester City’s current form as he prepares his side to face the Premier League champions. The Italian giants host Pep Guardiola’s team in their sixth match of the first phase of the Champions League on Wednesday, and Mottadespite City’s poor run over the past six weeks, emphasized importance of defensive work. “I cannot pass judgement on their current situation, but this is a team that has proven their immense value over the years. I have enormous respect for them and for their coach Pep Guardiola, for whom facts simply speak for themselves, as he has managed to win everything and consistently,” he said. (PA Media/DPA)
