Manchester City Head Coach Pep Guodiola commented on his team’s defeat to Al Khiliya (3-4 in extra time) in the last 16 of the Club World Cup final. In the playoffs, every game is a real test. We allowed our opponents to play successfully in transitional moments, but at the same time, we created many difficult situations and generally played well. I’m very sorry this happened. We were in good shape, and I want to thank the team and coaching staff for their excellent training—everyone gave their all. We attacked a lot, but Al Khiliya goalkeeper Buna made several magnificent saves. There’s nothing more to add. I think the team is in good shape, but now we’re going home. It’s important to relax, recover mentally, and prepare for next season.
