J.Guardiola: "I was invited here precisely because of such matches"

At the Champions League quarterfinal match in Manchester, football fans witnessed a true goal fiesta.

"Man City" managed to defeat "Monaco" after a very intense battle with a score of 5:3.

After the match, "City's" coach Josep Guardiola said:

"This is why I was invited here - I enjoy matches of this style. I think there is something special when two teams play like this and constantly attack. Football is incredibly charming."

"This match was special, I cannot deny that. Our attack worked well enough, although defending against "Monaco" was not easy, as they are a well-organized team.

"I would like to see how many teams managed to keep a 'clean sheet' against them this season," added the Catalan.

Guardiola also praised goalkeeper Willy Caballero, who saved a penalty kick from 11 meters and prevented the visitors from taking the lead at 3:1.

"At that moment, such a result would have become a very heavy burden, but he reacted excellently and prevented R. Falcao from scoring."
