- I had thoughts that we could not win the fifth match in a row. During the break, I said to the guys: "Can we feel sorry for ourselves? We don't need to do that".

This is football, this is what happens here. We will not complain about our bad luck. The strikers need to be more aggressive and score goals. We need to defend better during flank passes and be positive.

We have to remember who we are. Great personalities, great teams like this one are defined by situations like this. I don't like watching players when they are 3-0 or 4-0 up. But four matches without a win and 1-0 before the break in a difficult away game is quite normal," said Josep Guardiola.

We would like to add that after 16 rounds, Manchester City ranks 4th with 33 points.
