Pep Guardiola has had his say after Manchester City failed to win their opening UEFA Champions League match of the season against Inter Milan on Wednesday. In a repeat of the 2023 final, the Citizens hosted the Italian champions at the Etihad Stadium, but failed to make their home advantage count. The match ended scoreless after Guardiola's side squandered a number of good chances to go in front following 22 attempts at goal.
Speaking after the game, the Spanish tactician only had good things to say about his side's performance, claiming it was better than the way they played in the 2023 UCL final. "We faced a really, really difficult team, the champions from Italy," he said, according to the club's website. "They are physical and they have (strength in) all departments.
"They build up from Sommer and Bastoni, playing on the transition. I am really satisfied for the game we played. "They are masters of defending deep.
They help each other unbelievably so you cannot expect to create a lot of chances. We created some chances. "We played much better than two years ago in the final of the Champions League.
I like everything from my team today. We would prefer to win but still seven games, see what happens." City will take on Arsenal in the Premier League this coming Sunday.
