“We beat the champions, an extraordinary team. We are brave to play, they are brave to play,” Guardiola said post match.
“My team I like every single game. We tried to play football, take risks.
“The best team I have ever faced in my life at high pressing.
“We had the courage to play in the small spaces.
“It is important. I saw the guard of honour, how they work inside, how focused they were.
“They didn’t even say thank you because they were focused.
“They drank a lot of beers this week but they arrived here with no beers in their blood which is why I give us a lot of credit,” he concluded.
