Pep Guardiola couldn’t hide his disappointment at losing the second leg of the UEFA Champions League last 16 tie against Basel, despite his side progressing into the quarter finals 5-2 on aggregate..
“We are happy to be in the quarter finals, we are so happy for that. Second half we didn’t attack and forgot to even pass the ball... the second half was really really poor.
“t’s important abriel Jesus played for 90 minutes. When you are out for a long time you need to find the rhythm to come back. His goal will give him confidence.
“Phil Foden was good and in the second he was perhaps the only one who tried to be aggressive. It’s good for the rhythm of the future.
“The difference in the quarter finals, in that level all the teams will be so, so tough and demanding. We will try to be ready and to come back because we did it in the recent games.”
