‘We could not control it’: Guardiola laments City’s PSG capitulation Pep Guardiola refused to wallow after Manchester City’s latest Champions League misstep, delivering home truths and accepting that if his club were to exit the competition it would be what they deserve.
Guardiola appeared to suggest he had been outmanoeuvred by the PSG manager, Luis Enrique, his good friend and former Barcelona and Spain teammate, who regularly had the extra man in midfield by playing with a false nine.
City lost 4-2 against Paris Saint‑Germain at a raucous Parc des Princes, having led 2-0, and they will fall short of the playoff round if they do not win their final group tie next Wednesday at home against Club Brugge.
We could not make the process and in terms of transitions we could not cope with them.
We could not do it and we could not control it defensively and that was the point.
