Manchester City got what they deserved in damaging PSG defeat, says Pep Guardiola

Pep Guardiola said his Manchester City team got what they deserved following their defeat to Paris St Germain.

City surrendered a 2-0 lead to lose 4-2 at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday (22 January) and are now in danger of crashing out of the Champions League at the first hurdle.

The costly defeat left them outside the top 24 in the league phase of the competition and needing to beat Club Brugge next week to scrape into the play-off round.

Guardiola said: “They were better, they were quicker. They won the duels with the ball and had one more in the middle. We could not cope with that as they were fast.”
