Pep Guardiola yesterday in the UEFA Champions League second leg match provided an opportunity for less active players to show themselves, but he was not satisfied with the performance on the field.
In the first leg, "Man City" defeated "Basel" with a score of 4-0, so there were only formalities left to settle in Manchester. "Basel" shocked the opponents - they achieved a victory with a score of 2-1, but they were still far from reaching the next stage.
"We are very happy to be in the quarterfinals," - P. Guardiola said after the match. - In the second half, we did not want to attack anymore and even forgot how to make passes correctly. The second half was very, very poor."
"In the quarterfinals, we will face a completely different opponent. In this stage, there will only be teams that are aiming for the title, and it will be especially difficult to compete with them. However, we are ready for this stage, we just need to return to the level of play we were at in the last few matches," - added the strategist.
In addition to "Man City," the places in the Champions League quarterfinals are already taken by Madrid's "Real," "Juventus," and "Liverpool."
