Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola admits he complains only because of the last 25 minutes of loss of 5-1 from Arsenal.
The Premier League firsts were dismantled in northern London, lagging behind after seconds thanks to Martin Odegaard strike.
Erling Haaland straightened in the second half, but a rush of strikes from the home side put Guardiolane people in the sword.
Despite the great defeat, the Spaniard admits that most of the games were positive for his side.
He said, “I only regret the last 25 minutes, we forgot to do what we should do, what we did for 65/70 minutes. Of course there is a tough game that starts in this stadium, against that team in the first minute, that happened many times many times This season.
“But after 10/15 minutes, I think we took the game and played really, really, really, really good and in her after 1-1 and good momentum we go through to make a transition with Omar [Marmoush] and aversion and third goal.
“But after that, we continued to do what you have to do in the terms in defense and [be a] A little more patient. And when you play that way, they can run, and of course at 3-1, they are comfortable, which is harder. I regret the last 15/20 minutes, the rest was a really good game for our side. It’s hard to understand when you see the result, but this is my feeling.
“Was not acceptable” ❌
