The Spaniard’s statement is coming after the Cityzens fell by two goals to nothing to Juventus in the Uefa Champions League 2024/25 League Phase match on Wednesday 11 December, 2024 in Turin, Italy.
According to mancity.com, In his post-defeat comments, Guardiola said: “Of course it’s tough. Except one or two games in this period that were not good, we played quite similar, and I give credit to Juventus.
“Tonight, I don’t think it was defensive mistakes much. That was not the reason [we lost], other games yes but not today.
“I love my team the way we play and the result is not going to convince me of the opposite.
“Congratulations on the way they defended, in the transitions they did it. But we were incredibly aggressive in our high pressing.
“We won the long balls and the back four was really good. Of course, it was a cross and Vlahovic is strong in that position.
“But the way we played I’m really pleased.
“What has happened, that is life. It happened.
“We have to accept it like a normality that sometimes we have bad periods with results and we’re going to insist, insist, insist until the end.”
