Guardiola: “I have nothing to blame for anyone”

Guardiola spoke at the flash interview of Movistar Liga de Campeones at the end of the match and lost the Champions League final against Chelsea.

Analysis: “We had an exceptional season. I am sad to have lost. We have had chances. In the second half we were more constant. It is the first time we are here. The game has been very close. They have not left the area in the second half We compete very well. “

Without reproaches: “I have nothing to reproach. Without a midfielder? I wanted a lot of play. We have reached the next line. In the second half we moved more and we got it. There are wonderful teams that have won it five or six times.”

Proud: “For us, being here is very big. We could play a little better in the first half, but I have nothing to blame for. Their defensive structure is very solid, they are very physical. We didn't put it in …”.

At a press conference:

Defeat: “I am sad to have lost. We have had occasions, especially at the beginning, that of Sterling, another of Foden … Then we were more constant in the second half. We competed incredibly well, it was our first time here. Congratulations to Chelsea and hope that next time we can be better. “

Second part: “They did not leave the area in the second half. We were more than correct. We competed very well against a very strong team. Nothing to reproach.”

Changes in the eleven: “I did not put in midfielders because I wanted a lot of play. We have not suffered defensively. It has cost us in the first half.

They haven't made us too dangerous. “

Balance: “We have had a fantastic season. We wanted to have won, but it couldn't be. I don't want to talk about next season, we've played 61 games out of 62 possible and we're sad right now. We have to learn from the future, but the season has been exceptional. The players have given everything. “

Great game: “It was a good final, we were better in the second half. They gave everything and I congratulate them on their great season.”

Blow to De Bruyne: “I do not know what De Bruyne has, it must be something in his face. I have not spoken with him or with the doctors. I hope it is nothing.”

Gündogan, owner: “It was my decision. Gündogan has played for a long time in that position, he wanted to play with many quality footballers, small, between the lines, and that was my decision. The plan was to try to win. It is the first time we were here, in the second half we played well, without conceding almost counterattacks. We competed well. They eliminated Madrid, Atlético… “.

“And now?: “We have to go home, to my family, who have not seen her for a long time, and rest for two or three weeks to also think about the next season.”

Without equaling Bob Paisley, Ancelotti and Zidane

The Spaniard Pep Guardiola, Manchester City coach, missed this Saturday the chance to equalize with the Englishman Bob Paisley, the Italian Carlo Ancelotti and the Frenchman Zinedine Zidane, the coaches who have three European Cup / Champions League titles.

Paisley was crowned with Liverpool in 1977, 1978 and 1981; Ancelotti with Milan twice, in 2003 and 2007, and with Real Madrid in 2014; and Zidane with the Madrid team in 2016, 2017 and 2018.
