Guardiola: We deserve to go out. Pep Guardiola accepted that City did not deserve to go any further in the Champions League this season.. He told TNT:. “We want to extend the position [from kick-off] not go down. We cannot deal with the physicality they have. We concede with the first action, didn’t defend well and it’s more difficult. Accept it, the best team win. Now focus on the Premier League.. “Out of the 180 minutes we have a good 30-35 minutes in the first half, the rest we struggle. At 2-1 we make a mistake, here we go one-down, start with injury for John. The first goal was what happened all season. The quality they have, of course they can do. We wanted to extend the first minutes a bit longer.”. “It’s not just Mbappe, a lot of players, a fantastic team. Congratulate them, they deserve to go through, we don’t deserve. We didn’t make a good Champions League season. Accept it and fight to be here next season.. “We have to qualify and do the process. We’re so lucky to be many years in this position, arrive in finals. Have to accept this season we’re not close enough. See what happens in the future.”
