Manchester City failed to dismantle Arsenal in the FA Cup semifinals. “We lost the game in the first half when we couldn’t get into the game,” said City coach Pep Guardiola’s analysis.
It was the first time in 2 years that Manchester City lost a cup match domestically. “That’s an unlikely streak, but in football you can lose. I’m just sad about the way,” said Pep Guardiola.
“We weren’t able to play in the first half. If we had played the first half like we saw in the second, it might have been a different story.”
“We just weren’t good, that can happen. We are human too. But you don’t have to be a genius to see that we will have to boost our level against Real Madrid (in the quarterfinals of the Champions League).”
