‘We are the best, I love my team the way we play’published at 22:58 Greenwich Mean Time
Juventus 2-0 Manchester City
More from Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola in his post-match news conference: “I don’t think it was defensive mistakes much [that cost them]. That was not the reason, other games, today not. We missed the last pass, arriving in the six-yard box, penalty spot many times, not make that good move, that was the difference today. We are the best, I love my team, the way we play and this result is not going to convince me the opposite.”
On Ilkay Gundogan saying there is a confidence issue: “You probe it and accept one or two games in this period not good, the rest we play quite similar. I give credit Juventus congratulations, for the way they defend, the transitions. We were incredible, aggressive in our high pressing, we won the long balls, the back four was really good. Of course it’s a cross Vlahovic is strong in that position. The way we played I’m really pleased.”
On whether he questions himself: “Yeah of course. I analyse, use it, what happens in the results. Of course I question myself, in the good moments, in the bad moments. I was stable in the good moments, I was stable in the bad moments. I try to find the way, find win. The game was there. I am incredibly honest in knowing when we not play good or not play good.”
