#3. Pep Guardiola has the right to be disappointed
Trending
Pep’s Champions League record is impeccable. In his seven seasons as a coach, he has never finished lower than the semi-finals of this competition. Manchester City who was semi-finalists last year bowed out quite mutedly last term. Guardiola already has gotten the team up and running and will hope to go a couple of steps better with this side.
Hence it is understandable at his disappointment at seeing the stadium not full. After all, in clubs such as Barcelona and Bayern, he wasn’t used to seeing empty stadiums. While the rescheduling of the match may have been an obvious hindrance the Spaniard seemed pretty pleased with his team and emphasised on the need to pick up as many points as possible.
Gundogan who made his first appearance this season was picked out for his performance along with the likes of Sterling and Aguero. Otaemendi was instructed to carry the ball out of defence and was repeatedly encouraged by Guardiola and Bravo had his first clean sheet as well. Overall a very assured performance from the Citizens.
