Guardiola Admits Manchester City ‘Not Complete’ After European Exit
Pep Guardiola has acknowledged that Manchester City are no longer at their peak following their exit from the UEFA Champions League.
The English side suffered a 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid, extending their run of eliminations by the Spanish giants.
“Still we are not complete. Still there are things in certain moments where we need to be more clinical, but my feeling is it will be a question of time,” Guardiola said.
“We are not a complete team, that is a reality. I’ve been in a team in Manchester City where we were a team in all aspects. Still we are not, but we have a final on Sunday, FA Cup against Liverpool and the Premier League is still tight.
“We need to finish the Premier League strong, prepare good decisions for the summer and next season we will be back in the Champions League.”
Guardiola added that he wants the club to adopt the winning mentality associated with Real Madrid.
“I would love this club to be like Madrid where if you don’t win the Champions League, it is a failure. That is pressure.
“At City it is not the expectation. In time maybe we will get that.”
