City fans all across the world will be hopeful that they can improve on their 2021 performance and capture their first European title.

🎙“The first half was better than the second. I think after the goal was disallowed we were not as active. We didn’t make movements. It’s not easy because after this result it was already over.” – Pep Guardiola

While speaking on their youngsters, Pep said;

🎙“Yeah CJ doesn’t make mistakes which is so important as a defender. McAtee played well. Macca is quite calm and a guy who is in a good direction. But, yeah he got mins in the second half. He has played previous games. He knows the rhythm. He has the quality but has to understand the position a bit better.”

The Man City coach added;

🎙“We should have played the second half like we did in the last four mins. We didn’t do it, but it’s not easy after 5-0.”
