Pep Guardiola was defeated in the group stage

The team led by Guardiola suffered the second defeat in the group stage of the Champions League last night.
They lost to RB Leipzig (1: 2) and the score is 17 wins, 4 draws.

The defeat did not harm the citizens, as they secured first place in the group even before that game, but the team manager Pep Guardiola was bothered by the behavior of some players.

Experienced Kyle Walker, who received a direct red card due to a reckless move and will not be able to play for City at the start of the knockout phase.

“First of all, we are satisfied that we are in the eighth-finals. That is a success. This was a tough group and so far we have had a very, very good campaign in the Champions League. As for this match, I am satisfied with the second half, not so much the first. Overall, we missed the final pass. What I don’t like is Walker’s red card. He justifiably got it. But that creates serious problems for us for the round of 16. Kyle Walker is an important player for our team and it is unnecessary for us to lose him in that way. I hope he will learn something from this,” said Pep Guardiola, obviously angry because of the reckless move of the English defender.
