Manchester City will need the "perfect game" against Liverpool if they are to save their Champions League campaign, according to manager Pep Guardiola.
City face the daunting prospect of overturning a 3-0 deficit from the first leg of their quarter-final tie at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday
He told a pre-match news conference: "Of course, to go through you have to make almost the perfect game, create a lot of chances, be clinical, and the chances we're going to receive, defend well and the keeper save it.
"We have to make almost the perfect game because the result is tough. You have 90 minutes and everything can happen and only we can do is try and we will see.
"We don't have to think about how many goals, we have to score the first then think about the second, and after we will see if we can keep that momentum.
"Every time we play Liverpool we know each other, maybe we will be closer to playing better to beat them. We cannot forget it's just a simple game and focus on every single minute what we need to do.
"It's the best way to play the game and if we concede a goal, don't give up. It's more than 90 minutes but we showed many times, in a short period we can create chances and you have to be clinical. But if we're not clinical we have to think, next one, next one, next one."
