"Manchester City" lost to Madrid's "Real" club once again on Wednesday, ending their performance in this season's UEFA Champions League.

After being eliminated from the tournament, "Man City" coach Pep Guardiola acknowledged the superiority of the opponents.

"We couldn't stop Mbappe. The better team won. "Real" deserved to advance."

This season we are struggling in all tournaments. I think over the last three seasons we have been a better team than "Real," but at this moment they are better. We have to accept that and move on.

We have 13 matches in the "Premier" league to return to the Champions League next season. So far, nothing is guaranteed," stated P. Guardiola after the match.
