"Manchester City" coach Pep Guardiola promised fans that the club will bounce back after their failure in the UEFA Champions League, experienced this year in the quarterfinals.
In an impressive and eventful match at the "Etihad" stadium, the "cityzens" defeated the "Monaco" team with a score of 5-3, but lost 1-3 as guests and ended their performance in the strongest European tournament.
The Manchester team's strategist understands the mistakes made and hopes not to repeat them next year.
"People create a lot of expectations, but we know that in order to defeat any team in these competitions, you need a lot", - Guardiola said in a press conference. "In England, you need to understand that."
"Many players participated in this tournament for the first time, so we will learn. I think we will be stronger next season."
"We were close to progressing further. We scored six goals and, of course, conceded six goals. When that happens, everything becomes very difficult. Almost all the goals were our own mistakes."
"It happened many times this season, but I believe it will happen less next season. I hope we learn from it."
"I do not regret how we fought, except for the first half. People cannot believe that we did not just try to protect the result. That's the only thing I didn't want. However, the opponent was strong."
This year, "Manchester City" can still fight for the FA Cup and secure a place in the next season's Champions League. In the English championship, the "cityzens" currently hold the third place.
