City enjoyed the perfect preparation for Wednesday바카라�s Champions League quarter-final second leg against the Spanish giants as they cruised past the Hatters in a one-sided encounter.

An early own goal from Daiki Hashioka set them on their way before second-half strikes from Mateo Kovacic, Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Josko Gvardiol wrapped up a comfortable win.

With the three points taking City back to the Premier League summit, putting pressure on rivals Arsenal and Liverpool ahead of Sunday바카라�s fixtures, Guardiola could switch his focus to Real.

바카라�The team is alive,바카라� said the City boss, whose side played out a pulsating 3-3 draw with Real last Tuesday.

바카라�It바카라�s difficult against Real Madrid but, at the same time, let바카라�s try and go to do it with our people.

바카라�Whatever happens, we will give everything. There is not one minute when we won바카라�t know what to do.

바카라�We have all our desire to do it. I want the Etihad full, no seat empty.바카라�

City are chasing an unprecedented second successive treble.

Guardiola said: 바카라�We have to admit it, what a privilege, still fighting for the Premier League, playing against Real Madrid with a chance to qualify for the semi-final, and the FA Cup next Saturday, a semi-final again.바카라�

Although City won comfortably, Guardiola felt Luton had made things difficult.

He said: 바카라�It was really hard until the second goal.

바카라�We played really good and had a lot of chances in the first half but we missed something in the finishing.

바카라�How many times have I seen in world football that a team is better and doesn바카라�t win the game? Many times. We know how difficult Luton are.바카라�

Hatters boss Rob Edwards conceded he had not expected his relegation battlers to get anything from the game.

He said: 바카라�It was always going to be difficult. Without sounding very defeatist, I almost made peace with it.

바카라�They were the dominant team, they were amazing, but we stayed in the game as long as we could. It바카라�s tough but today was never going to derail us.바카라�

Edwards bemoaned his side바카라�s luck in conceding so early, with the own goal coming as a Haaland shot cannoned into the net off Hashioka바카라�s head.

He said: 바카라�We wanted to try to be aggressive but then Haaland knocks out Hashy with the first goal 바카라� one of the few defenders we have left knocked out on the floor and we바카라�re 1-0 down after a minute.

바카라�What a start that is, that바카라�s tough.바카라�

Hashioka required treatment before continuing but Edwards later clarified he had not actually been knocked unconscious.

He said: 바카라�No, he was just lying flat. I was just saying that in jest. I was just worried that he was.

바카라�He just got up and I thought, 바카라�thank goodness for that바카라�. Otherwise we would have been putting a centre forward at centre-back.바카라�
