Guardiola took full responsibility for the team’s performance, stating that “every single player needs to question themselves” and work on their individual contributions to help the team get back on track. He also pointed out that the team’s lack of confidence is a significant issue, particularly when it comes to making simple decisions on the field.

The Manchester City boss highlighted the importance of discipline and hard work in regaining confidence and momentum. However, he acknowledged that even with individual efforts, finding the right “click” between players will be crucial for his team to turn things around.

Guardiola praised Juventus for their strong performance, saying they were a well-organized team that was able to exploit Manchester City’s weaknesses. Despite the setback, Guardiola remains optimistic about his team’s chances and is confident that they can bounce back step-by-step.
