The head coach of "Manchester City" Pep Guardiola did not expect such a comeback to Barcelona.
Yesterday in the UEFA Champions League, "Barcelona" defeated the "citizens" in front of their own fans with a score of 4-0. Lionel Messi scored three goals for the winners. However, the result could have been different if not for Claudio Bravo's mistake.
P. Guardiola has never won at the Camp Nou stadium when playing against the Catalans. According to the strategist, this defeat was not as painful as the one experienced against Real Madrid while coaching Bayern Munich.
"The most painful defeat was experienced with Bayern playing against Real," Guardiola said at a press conference. "Back then, a lot of mistakes were made - starting from the starting lineup."
"The last time we played against Barcelona with Bayern, the match was different. This time we created opportunities and had a chance to score one or two goals.
"Barca does not forgive mistakes and punished us with such players. We controlled the situation, but not the goals," added the coach.
The return match between "Barca" and "Man City" in England will take place on November 1st.
