Manchester City head coach Josep Guardiola commented on his team's victory in the first leg of the Champions League last-16 against Copenhagen.
- We had a great match. It's great that we were able to play at this pace. We were patient when we needed to be. I am proud of my team. The third goal helped us a lot, and I hope we can finish the job in front of our own fans and reach the next round.
Our main task for this match is not to lose our chances to advance. We conceded a goal that we could have avoided, but sometimes that happens. We reacted well to the conceded goal and scored the second goal before the break. I know what happened with Bayern Munich and MU at this stadium. Matches with Copenhagen can be difficult and tense, so we used such a high tempo," said Josep Guardiola.
It should be added that in the group stage, Copenhagen defeated MU at home with a score of 4:3.
