Pep Guardiola insisted he was more bothered with his side creating chances against Real Madrid than finishing them.
Pep Guardiola said: “I am absolutely not concerned about that. What I want is to perform like Liverpool here or Brighton or Watford. Football is football, the result is the result but how we perform is exceptional. Nobody can say the performance was not good. We know we have to maybe rise the level to reach the final but this competition demands that. At the end maybe the chances we create we have to convert. I want to convince my players that we won the game and heads up. We were one up but even two or three or four you have to perform. They have the ability to score three goals in 10 minutes. It is a good test for ourselves. I don’t have one complaint about the result, about the performance, anything — I’m incredibly happy with how they performed in front of the world. We did everything to win, with courage, without the ball, and now we recover and hopefully arrive right well for the game in Leeds and in Madrid.”
