After leading his team to a 2-0 home win over Napoli in the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola spoke to reporters from camel.live.
That was a beautiful move for the first goal, wasn’t it?
Yes, it really was. Over the last two games, the team has had a different feeling. Our composure in both defense and attack, our body language—everything has been really good, incredible. So yes, I’m very happy. It’s been a tough season, a tough week. Of course, we have an incredible challenge ahead on Sunday, but going into it with this kind of feeling will be much better.
And Erling Haaland has broken another record—becoming the fastest player to score 50 Champions League goals. Pep, I’ve run out of things to say about him; do you have anything more to add about Erling Haaland?
Me too.
Nothing more to say?
No.
I mean, he was absolutely brilliant again tonight, and that goal was the perfect example…
Yes, we could have done it in the first half. Milinković-Savić is an incredible goalkeeper, so solid. But overall, we were very stable, and Gigi (Donnarumma)—you know, he made the saves he needed to make. Yes, I’m very happy with our performance tonight.
