"Manchester City" manager Pep Guardiola was not disappointed with his team's performance and claims that the failure against London's "Chelsea" will make them stronger in the future.
Last Saturday, "Man City" unexpectedly suffered their first defeat in the "Premier" league this season. The "blues" who started the game tough found ways to punish the visitors and secured a victory with a score of 2:0.
According to P. Guardiola, the team was impressive in the first half, but a few poor spells resulted in a negative outcome.
"In the first eight or ten minutes of the second half, "Chelsea" was better than us, but afterwards and throughout the first half, we were fantastic. It was a pleasure for me to watch my players," - said the Catalan manager after the match without losing positivity.
"We remained calm, took control of the ball, attacked, and created enough chances to score one or two goals in the first half. Unfortunately, it didn't happen, but it will be a good lesson for us.
These were the kind of matches that match the level of the Champions League. People say that "Man City" are favorites to win this tournament, but it was a great example of the Champions League - the opponents had one chance and punished us. They were so good, so smart. It will happen in the future when we play the most significant matches," added P. Guardiola.
After the defeat to "Chelsea", the "citizens" lost their top spot in the English "Premier" league. "Man City" is now trailing "Liverpool" by one point.
