Guardiola, finally fed up with the spiraling rumors, has down right denied that he is transferring to Manchester City next season, something that he had repeated time and again at Bayern headquarters.
"Oh, boys. At S?bener Street I have said 200 million times that I have a year left on my contract. I will be here next season and that 's all there is to it."
Guardiola will not let that bother him at a time when his team is holding on to the last shred of hope in the UEFA Champions League.
After suffering a 3-0 loss against Barcelona in leg one, they have to win by at least four goals to reach the final in Berlin.
Guardiola believes his boys have the qualities to at least try to do that.
"I think these players have shown they want and they're able to do it. But I'm a coach and I have to be realistic. After 3-0 in Barcelona, the goal is quite huge but very stimulating. It's a huge challenge for me as coach, and of course for the players."
It may not be impossible, after Bayern overturned a two-goal deficit in the quarterfinals and knocked out Porto.
Forward Thomas Mueller is convinced of their capabilities, but knows it won't be easy.
"We still believe in ourselves, we don't know if things will turn out the way they did against Porto, but that's our goal, because we need that."
Bayern and Barcelona will fight for one of the spots in the final early tomorrow morning.
For CRI, I'm Fu Yu.
