Guardiola appeared before the media at the end of the match to analyze the 2-1 victory against Borussia Dortmund, at the Etihad, in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Match rating: “I want to congratulate my players on a great Champions League game. We fought and stayed together until the end. The second half was better than the first. The reaction after 1-1 has been very good, we have not conceded chances and we won the game. They had a chance with Haaland where Ederson made a great save. And then nothing else. ”
Foden’s performance: “In the last 30 minutes Foden has been our biggest threat, but we couldn’t score until the end.”
Arbitration controversy: “It is better that we do not talk about the Champions League referees, neither this season nor the previous ones. They have done a great job. It is better not to comment at all. The referee decided like this and that’s it. They have been perfect, they have not influenced the match as it happened in the past “.
