Ferran Torres sends message to Pep Guardiola about Champions League final start for Man City


Ferran Torres admits Manchester City will need luck on their side to win the Champions League final. Torres is City's joint-top scorer in the Champions League this season with four goals. “When you play Champions League you are facing the best teams in Europe," he said. "You also need a bit of luck in certain moments of the game. I think the team has made a step forward in terms of experience in the competition. We didn't start the best way, but as the season went along, we have grown a lot as a team and we deserve to be where we are now. "In the Premier League, you spend the whole year fighting for it, but the Champions League is special. Every player wants to win it and especially Manchester City as it could be the first one in our history. To win the Champions League you need the whole squad plugged in because everyone is going to be important at some point of the game. "It's true, we don't have a top scorer this season, but we have many players that can scoregoals and that is one of the main strengths of this team.” Torres arrived as a right winger, but has been used on both flanks. He said: “Playing under Pep Guardiola's command you improve as a player and as a team. I have learnt a lot this season, especially playing in positions on the pitch that I wasn't used to and also the learnings on the day-to-day of one of the best clubs in the world. “Pep Guardiola thinks about football 24/7. He has helped me a lot to grow as a player in my first year here. He's helped me to learn how to play in different positions. He has taught me how to play as a left-winger - I wasn't used to that! Also, he has taught me how to play as a false nine, especially at the beginning of the season. "I'm very grateful to him, because he gets involved individually in the growth and the development of the players. He gives you the key factors to play in different positions on the pitch and I think that is making me grow as a player and as a person.” Torres joined City to win trophies and already has two. “Every player dreams about playing a Champions League final, and even more to win it," he explained. "Winning the trophy would be reaching the top as a football player in a club. It's a competition involving the best teams in Europe and the feeling of winning it must be incredible. In a Champions League final, there aren't any favourites. It's a final, so both teams are going to give everything on the pitch. Anything can happen, but I hope we can win it.”
