Pep Guardiola Press Conference - Man City 0-0 Inter

'We played MUCH BETTER today than CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL!'

Press conference with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola following their 0-0 Champions League league stage draw against Inter

He says he’s not sure if De Bruyne will be fit to face Arsenal after coming off at half time, says Inter were really difficult opposition but he was satisfied with how his own team played, says the decision to withdraw De Bruyne and Savinho was as much tactical as it was to protect De Bruyne, talks about making substitutions at half time for the second match in a row, says there’s a long way to go before he can say the team are performing like potential champions, whether the game against Arsenal will provide similar challenges to tonight’s match, whether he’s concerned how many of his players are lacking full match fitness going into a tough game against Arsenal.

(In Italian) He goes on to talk about what Inter did particularly well tonight to cause his side so many issues, refuses to be drawn on whether he’s tried to sign Inter’s Bastoni, talks about how well Inter defended against Haaland - adding that the attention they gave him created some chances for other players, how the Inter side tonight compared to the side they faced in the Champions League final and denies he was ever in the running to coach Inter - saying he is enjoying his time in England.
