Manchester City’s Champions League collapse should not be seen as a failure, Pep Guardiola has said. He recently revealed this while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he’ll never agree if people say the season has been a failure because his players simply see it as a hurdle they will try extra hard to scale through in future.
Pep added that the players are very sad to have crashed out in the semi-final, but he feels Real Madrid deserved their qualification.
His words, “If people say it’s a failure then I disagree.”
“The people in the squad know how difficult it is, but they accept it,”
“I’m not going to make a debate. In the club the feeling we have is we try to do it again.”
“We are sad, of course, because we were close – but not close enough. Madrid deserve it.”
“The players wanted to play the final, but for this club to compete against Real the way we did is a joy.”
“I say congratulations to Liverpool and Madrid, they deserve it. Next season we try again and, if it doesn’t work, we try again.”
“No words can help what we feel,”
“It’s a question of time, we try to sleep and think of the targets.”
“We will be together on Saturday, so we will talk about who we are as a team and what we’ve done to get to the semi-finals of the Champions League.”
“We can’t compare what happened in the past to what will happen in the future. The best form of concentration is simple: Newcastle. No more than that.”
