Intro:
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini denied his thoughts would be on next week's UEFA Champions League game with Barcelona - and said on Friday that City were "just thinking about the game against Wigan" in the English FA Cup on Sunday - City versus Wigan Athletic in the quarter-final is also a repeat of last year's FA Cup final, which the underdogs famously won 1-0.
Script:
SOUNDBITE: (English) Manuel Pellegrini, Manchester City manager:
(Q: How does the game against Barcelona affect your selection for this weekend?)
"No we are just thinking about the game against Wigan. We know it is a tough game, it's not an easy game. They are playing very well, they are winning, they win all their last matches. So when we finish on Sunday the FA Cup we will just starting thinking about Barcelona."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Manuel Pellegrini, Manchester City manager:
(Q:Would you say then that you're not necessarily looking at the Champions League as a priority?)
"No, I look into every competition with the same importance. On Sunday we have to play in (the) FA Cup, so we are thinking about the FA Cup. When we finish that we try to make a good match against Barcelona to have our revenge and to try to continue in the Champions (League)."
