Pep Guardiola has said that the 1-0 loss is better than 0-0 draw.
Guardiola said: “It leaves us in this situation in the second leg, but sometimes 1-0 can be better than 0-0 because you know exactly what you have to do. At 0-0, you think about whether to go attacking or defend, but we know we have to score goals. We’ll be analysing the result, but right now I feel good about how we played – we controlled the game and maybe next week it will work.”
He said: “There were so few chances that they conceded, some set-pieces, some counter attacks but we controlled the game, we played quite good. We’ll see in the next game how we change to try it with our players, fans and families at home. If we don’t play well I will say it but I don’t have that feeling. Most of the time, both halves, we were the team with the good build-up, pressing a lot, they couldn’t do that. We found our players in those positions, but in the final third especially in the second half we got into the box but they only got in once – with the quality they have – and they scored from it.”
