“There are minimum requirements that we must show: respect for your partner, you have to make the effort. And today we made it,” said Guardiola.

“I spoke with the team in half time, so we are good. We are in your hands. We only granted a blow on the target.

“This means how Bernardo, Kova (Mateo Kovacic), senior players, legendary players who give the most incredible things in the club, take a step forward again and have made excellent performance.”
