Guardiola, about the games against Madrid: “There is no explanation”

Pep Guardiola He appeared with a sad face in the post-match interview after drawing a match suffered against him real Madrid where eManchester City left doubts about his supposed superiority.

Again, the conflict against the whites caused confusion about how the conflict would end. “It was an even game. When we were better, they scored and then when we were. The tie will be decided in Manchester”.

“No explanation, it’s football”expressed with little remorse Guardiola when he was asked why matches against Real Madrid are always like this. “They are very even matches, it was last year and this year. We have to recover and prepare for the Premier and the game against Madrid,” Pep continued.

One of the most outstanding news of the party is that Erling Haaland it didn’t show up at all. It was expected to make the difference but it was a disappointment, something Guardiola blamed on Madrid’s disposition. “The spaces between Camavinga and Carvajal are not occupied by centrals, but by interiors. The center backs with Erling, they were very good and that system didn’t produce one-on-one situations. Attacking those gaps is complicated. He didn’t have an easy game”, he defended the Norwegian.

“We played better last year and Madrid are stronger. We know that we want to take the tie well in Manchester. It is a difficult game,” insisted Pep, who now has to analyze the game and see ” that we can defend better, have more fluidity on the ball and attack better”.

One of the curiosities left by the rivalry is that Manchester City finished unchanged. “I thought those were the ones. The players have specific packaging. Bernardo and Grealish can keep the ball and this is something we need. If the game goes crazy, we’re not at the same level as them, we need a break,” the Catalan coach said.
