“I know what it means to come here against this team, face this manager and this stadium and win here. Big compliments to them after the changes in the second half, they played really well,” he told BBC.
“It’s a good lesson, that in football this game has to be played with the ball and when you don’t have it you suffer. They have a good process when building the game from the goalkeeper, they have one more man in the middle, have movement up front.”
“It’s very difficult to face for 90 minutes. Against other teams, the game will be finished at 3-0. Against this team it’s not like that,” added Pep Guardiola.
