RB Leipzig - Manchester City 2: 1 Video goals and review of the match The head coach of the “citizens” Josep Guardiola summed up the results of this confrontation in a post-match interview, remaining generally satisfied with the performance of his team, despite the result.

" We tried to play to win, but lost. It remains only to congratulate the opponents on a well-deserved victory..

In the first half, we clearly lacked the correct rhythm, there were problems with the interaction of the players in the attack. RB Leipzig had a really good game, but we knew even before the group stage that they had very high quality performers.

Unfortunately, they managed to take advantage of our two mistakes. However, I think we had a fantastic group stage, being in a group with top-tier opponents, so we were happy with the results in every game..

I would like to believe that in February we will play even better.

We can concede goals, but at the same time, more opponents should score.. Of course, it is better to do without balls in your goal, but in all the games of the group stage we played better than our opponents. In addition to the first half of this fight, RB Leipzig was clearly stronger there..

Regarding Walker's foul against Andre Silva, I can say that this is definitely a red card, "

Thus, Manchester City finished first in Group A with 12 points and will now play in the playoffs of the UEFA Champions League.
