Pep Guardiola says that “nothing is eternal” after Manchester City Pony Real Madrid in the Champions League | Football news
Pep Guardiola accepted “Nothing Eternal” and aimed at leading Manchester City into a new era after collapsing from the Champions League.
Hat-trick Kylian Mbappe helped Real Madrid in a total 6-3 victory to throw out City before the last 16 for the first time under Guardiola.
The city boss admitted that its side was surpassed because most of the season was ongoing, although their renovation was already underway after six signatures in January at the price of more than £ 175 million.
“We have already started it, that’s normal,” he said. “Nothing is eternal. Some are players in an era that I can still give us a lot.
“Nothing is forever, but we can’t deny what this group of players did, winning six Premier League titles in seven seasons and reaching quarterfinals, semi -finals and finals in this competition.
“This time we had to play these two matches against a very strong team and were better than us.”
Man City sits fourth in the Premier League, 17 points behind Liverpool leaders, who are on Sunday, live Sky Sports.
“This year, for several reasons, we lost consistency,” Guardiola said. “We have achieved something unique in our country and in Europe, doing it to the finals that we have never made before. This year we couldn’t do it.
“We need to learn and start making decisions about the team and everyone else, and try to end up in the top four or top five to have the opportunity to return next season.
“We had a bad season. When you finish 22. (In the league phase), it’s a sign that you didn’t play well.”
