Guardiola: If one team can score a thousand, million goals it is Monaco
Manchester City seized the first-leg advantage over Monaco in a thrilling match, but Pep Guardiola said the tie is far from over.
Pep Guardiola warned against writing off a second-leg fightback from Monaco as the Ligue 1 leaders could score "a thousand, millions goals".
Tuesday's first clash of the Champions League last-16 showdown had its fair share of strikes, with Guardiola's Manchester City getting the better of an eight-goal thriller at the Etihad Stadium.
The 5-3 win came courtesy of two goals from Sergio Aguero and one apiece from Raheem Sterling, John Stones and Leroy Sane, while Willy Caballero saved a penalty when the hosts were 2-1 behind.
But the Spaniard knows the return fixture will not be without its perils, as Europe's top scorers Monaco have hit over 100 goals in all competitions already this season.
"If one team can score a thousand, million goals it is Monaco," Guardiola said.
"To avoid the counter-attack is so, so tough. They are so fast – [Thomas] Lemar, [Benjamin] Mendy.
"Obviously we have to improve. The first goal is a mistake, the second goal again.
"But we did not give up, we were there. We were lucky in some moments in the second half and we were so unlucky in the second half.
"We are going to fly to Monaco to score goals, that is my target. We are not going to defend the result.
"We know each other better now. They are going to adjust something, we are going to adjust something. It is impossible to go through if we don't score goals.
"A lot of things happened so everything is still open.
"Of course I am so happy for the result because we are still alive.
"For a lot of the guys it is their first experience in the Champions League and these kind of things can help this club to take another step
"We have to live these kind of situations, to be in trouble and overcome. Don't give up, never. That is why we're still alive."

Sevilla gonna Sevilla
Ranieri: Sevilla game can be a turning point for Leicester
Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri is hopeful of a turning point in his team's season at Sevilla on Wednesday.
Claudio Ranieri is hopeful Leicester City's Champions League clash with Sevilla can prove a turning point for his side's season.
Having won the Premier League title last term, Leicester have endured a tough domestic campaign as they find themselves in a relegation battle, just one point and one place above the bottom three.
However, their European form has been impressive - they won their Champions League group ahead of Porto - and Ranieri is determined that another big result on Wednesday could be crucial for Leicester's fortunes at home and abroad.
"The Premier League is a priority when there is a match in the Premier League," Ranieri said ahead of the game. "Now there is a match in the Champions League. The priority is always the next match.
"[Wednesday] could be the turning point. It could be everything. If we win, something could change. We need one match like this.
"We know in our mind we are the underdog. If you see, in the last 10 years, what Sevilla has achieved, it's amazing.
"They are used to staying at the top. They have good players, but we are ready to fight and ready to play our football."
Ranieri has acknowledged that this season has been tougher than he expected, even if he had foreseen some drop-off from their title-winning exploits.
"Last year was marvellous; this season nothing has come off for us," he said. "It is strange given how many of us are the same at the club.
"This was the first time in our history we had won the title and I knew that there might be an after-effect; I just did not think it might be like this."
