Champions League: Pep Guardiola blames Manchester City imperfections for another exit

Firstpost  

A familiar cocktail of defensive errors, missed chances and VAR controversy did for Guardiola’s side with the Catalan coach also under fire for another surprise team selection in the knockout stages. “You have to be perfect in these competitions in one game and we weren’t.” City looked disjointed as Guardiola started with an unfamiliar 3-5-2 formation and trailed at half time to Maxwel Cornet’s strike. Raheem Sterling then incredibly fired over with the goal gaping to bring City back on level terms and less than 60 seconds later an error from goalkeeper Ederson allowed Dembele to tap home and seal Lyon a semi-final meeting with Guardiola’s old club Bayern Munich. We create more chances, so we did everything but unfortunately we are out again.” Neither Guardiola nor De Bruyne wished to dwell on the VAR call for Lyon’s second after the dramatic role it played in denying City a stoppage time winner in last season’s quarter-final against Tottenham.
