J. Guardiola: of course, I told E. Haaland that the opponent will collapse © PA

“Man City” coach Josep Guardiola brushes off praise and insists that football is a much simpler game than some people think.

This week the “Cityzens” celebrated another achievement, managing to outperform Munich’s “Bayern” with a joint score of 4:1 in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal.

“Football is not artificial intelligence.

Before scoring a goal in the match against “Bayern”, Erling Haaland touched the ball three times in front of the “Bayern” team. This happened due to Dayot Upamecano's mistake.

Of course, before the match, I told the Norwegian that in the 60th minute the opponent will slip, and you will get the ball and score. Yes, this will certainly happen,” Guardiola sarcastically said during the press conference.

On Saturday, “Man City” will play in the FA Cup semifinals against the “Sheffield United” team.
