Pep Guardiola, Man City’s coach, said that the way we played was magnificent, and I am so satisfied with the guys and how they performed. Moreover, he said that the result was excellent, but I am impressed with the way we attacked. I am satisfied, and again, compliments to the players, he said.
Jacob Neestrup, Copenhagen’s manager, said that there was not anything we could do. Moreover, he said we need to accept we are playing against the best team in the world right now, and when you see the way Haaland moves, it’s unnatural.
