Champions League: Manchester City players must believe they can win - Guardiola

Guardiola has now lost seven of his 13 meetings with Klopp

Pep Guardiola says his Manchester City players have to convince themselves they can still win their Champions League quarter-final tie with Liverpool after their 3-0 first-leg loss.

City were blown away by a superb first-half display from Liverpool at Anfield.

The second leg is next Tuesday at Etihad Stadium, where City are unbeaten in the Premier League this season.

"I don't have too many complaints," Guardiola told BT Sport. "Nobody believes, but we have another game."

Liverpool made the perfect start as Mohamed Salah slotted in from close range after a quick counter.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain then thumped in a superb shot from outside the box before Sadio Mane headed in third.

"They had two attacks and scored two goals," Guardiola said of Liverpool's first two goals. "That was tough but for the rest of the game we were so, so good. We had to score a goal but they defended more.

"We have to accept it and now we have [Manchester] United at home and then Liverpool at home. We see what happens. Of course it is difficult but we believe.
