Despite the disappointment, Guardiola praised the game for its intensity, describing it as “beautiful in its own way.” He singled out United’s young talent, Amad Diallo, as a standout player who embodied the true spirit of playing for the club.
“Amad Diallo was the only player on the pitch who truly understood what it means to play for the badge and fight for it,” Guardiola remarked, urging other United players to elevate their performance.
The loss marks a significant moment for Guardiola’s City, as the team grapples with maintaining dominance amidst fierce competition.
