City routs Schalke to ease into Champions League quarters:
With a 7-0 thrashing of Schalke on Tuesday that completed a 10-2 aggregate victory, City eased into the last eight of European soccer's most prestigious competition for the third time in four seasons and confirmed its status as one of the favourites — whatever Guardiola might be saying in public.
"This club, the best success in the history is a semifinal, compared to Real Madrid with 13 . Or Barcelona, Liverpool, Juventus, who have how many? Six, seven, eight?" Guardiola said."It is why when the people say, 'You have to win, you have to win,' when you are out in the quarterfinals it is a disaster. It is not fair."
This season's round of 16 has featured some memorable comebacks so far — notably from Ajax and Manchester United last week — but Schalke's chances of overturning a 3-2 first-leg deficit virtually disappeared when Sergio Aguero chipped home a 35th-minute penalty to make it 1-0 in the second leg at Etihad Stadium.
"We fell apart. The look of tension is the worst since I have been here," said Schalke coach Domenico Tedesco, who is fighting for his job with his team just four points above the relegation zone in the Bundesliga.
