Onana: Before the 18-19 Champions League reversed Real Madrid, Guardiola told me to do my best without fear

Live bar December 30, Ajax goalkeeper Onana recently talked about a past with Manchester City manager Guardiola about the 2018-19 Champions League against Real Madrid. Onana is from Barca's youth academy and the two have intersected.

In the 2018-19 Champions League quarter-finals, Ajax eliminated Real Madrid 5-3 in two legs to advance to the quarter-finals after losing 1-2 in the first leg. Onana said: "I watched Manchester City against Schalke in Germany (2018-19 Champions League 16-8) when I talked to Guardiola about our second leg against Real Madrid. He smiled and told me: "Andrei, you are at your best at the moment, you go to the second leg to win the game against Real Madrid." You don't know whether to attack or defend now, but you've lost the first round, and now the second round is in front of you, and you only have to win. You've 'died' once, so you have to give it your all the way the next turn. ”.

In the second leg, Ajax beat Real Madrid 4-1 to advance to the quarter-finals. Ajax had de Jong and De Ligt twin stars that season, then eliminated Juve to advance to the final four, and in the semi-finals, with a 1-0 win in the first leg, Lucas Jr.'s incredible hat-trick in the second leg kept the Dutch team out of the final.
