Pep Guardiola, coach of Manchester City, insisted the draw is not on his side, because at the Santiago Bernabeu “it doesn’t matter if you go 1-0 or 2-0”, as Madrid “can score three goals in ten minutes”.
“It was a great game, with great players and a lot of quality. To win this competition you have to overcome situations that football is for you. But this is Real Madrid and the Santiago Bernabeu. It doesn’t matter if you go 1-0 or go 2-0, they are able to score three goals in ten minutes, they have the quality to do that,” Guardiola said at a press conference.
“Whatever happened, we know it was very difficult. If we play like the second half of Atlético, we have no options. We want to see each other on a stage as imposing as the Bernabéu,” he added.
“I’m trying to convince my players that we won the game and that they don’t have to bow their heads,” Guardiola clarified, because of the missed opportunities to earn a superior income against the whites.
“This game gives you those emotions, you miss an opportunity. No one can say they didn’t have a good time today. I think we should congratulate Madrid and City for what they did today.”
The sky-blue coach, who denied having reacted sullenly to the Spanish press, joked, when asked about the time he sat in a fridge watching Benzema’s sentence, that he just “wanted a beer”. †
