A tough one to suffer as a last gasp penalty negates an away win in Europe. Not Nico’s best moment. In the positive end, Haaland, Foden and Savinho were very good.
The match was tough and Monaco stood to the
task, but it will have to be seen as a missed opportunity.
On to the reaction
Pep Guardiola Reaction
“A really good game. Unfortunately we didn’t defend the final free-kick not perfectly.
“The penalty was given, that’s all. I don’t know. The team was really, really good.
“We know from experience [that the Champions League is tough]. It’s a good point, we’ll take it and look to the next match.”
“They have fast, fast players. We concede few chances and create a lot in the Champions League so I’m really pleased for that but of course we were close.
“We could not defend well the free kick, and we concede the penalty.
“Football you have to win and it’s down to the result.
“If you analyse the game, in many things it was really good.
“Step by step we will do better but many things, with the chances we found especially Phil in the first half.
“Many players did really good and we concede almost nothing. They defend so deep, so tight, we didn’t expect it with the way they have played.
