Guardiola insists Man City still have work to do despite 3-1 advantage over Man Utd.
Pep Guardiola says the EFL Cup semi-final clash against Manchester United isn't over despite Manchester City's 3-1 win at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.
Bernardo Silva broke the deadlock in the 17th minute and Riyad Mahrez increased the lead 16 minutes later, and an own goal by Andreas Pereira made it 3-0.
In the second half, Marcus Rashford pulled one back for United, who will travel to the Etihad for the second leg on January 29. However, Guardiola says 'anything can happen in football and I know after what happened in the second half that they are a dangerous team.'
"I've played many times against United, not just here, but when I was in Munich and especially Barcelona, and two finals of the Champions League. Of course I have incredible respect for this club and its history," the Spaniard said as the Livescore.com reported.
"This club helps this Premier League in England and in Europe, to make our game a better place to be. Of course it's an incredible stage to come, an incredible scenario, and to try to play good like we did in the last times we've came here is an honour.
"But that is not three points, that is not done. Last season they lost 2-0 to PSG and after they went to France and you know they qualified.
"Anything can happen in football and I know after what happened in the second half that they are a dangerous team. Hopefully now in front of our people, they can support us like Man United support their team, and again, qualify for the final."
