Video: “Outstanding the way we played” – Guardiola reflects on how good his Man City side were against Real Madrid

Ultimately, it turned out to be a deeply disappointing night for the reigning Champions League champions.

However, despite Man City’s loss in the penalty shoot-out against Real Madrid, manager Pep Guardiola opted not to criticize his players. Instead, in an interview with TNT Sports following the match, he praised the efforts of his team on the field.

“In every aspect, we performed exceptionally well,” Guardiola expressed to Jules Breach during his post-match interview. “The way we played was outstanding.”

Guardiola appeared solemn, as one might anticipate. Now, he and his team will shift their complete attention to pursuing a historic fourth consecutive Premier League title.
