"This is unacceptable. It is really unacceptable. For the health of the players. "Coventry, United, Chelsea did not play for a week, and they made us play today. Since we won, I have the courage to say so. After the defeat in the Champions League semi-finals, I honestly don't understand how you can play 120 minutes again.

The only power I have is to speak up here. I've known about this for years, but why are you playing today and not tomorrow? Why not have another day for the players' health?" Guardiola was quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
