“We Could Not Cope With That” – Guardiola Admits PSG Were Better Than Man City
Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, has acknowledged that Paris Saint-Germain were the better team after his side suffered a 4-2 defeat in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Speaking to TNT Sport after the game, Guardiola reflected on the performance, admitting PSG were simply the superior side. “In the first half, they had a few moments, we had a few chances, but overall, they were better,” Guardiola said.
“At 2-0, we were comfortable, but they quickly responded and scored. From that point on, we couldn’t regain control. They were quicker, stronger in duels, and had an extra man in the midfield. We couldn’t match their speed and intensity.”
Guardiola didn’t shy away from accepting the defeat, conceding that PSG deserved their victory. “The best team won tonight,” he added. “We still have a chance to qualify if we win our last game against Brugge at home. We have to make sure we don’t waste that opportunity.”
Kylian Mbappé has named former Spanish international Sergio Ramos as his ideal captain, calling him a natural-born leader. In an interview with Canal Plus, the French forward praised Ramos for his commanding presence and influence both on and off the pitch.
“My dream captain? Sergio Ramos,” Mbappé said. “He was born to lead. Whether it’s in the dressing room or on the field, his presence speaks for itself. Even without the armband, it feels like the armband chooses him.”
Mbappé and Ramos shared two seasons together at Paris Saint-Germain, appearing in 51 matches as teammates. The connection between the two clearly left a mark on the 25-year-old striker. Ramos eventually returned to La Liga with Sevilla after leaving PSG. As for Mbappé, he made headlines by joining Real Madrid in 2024 after choosing not to renew his contract with PSG, leaving on a free transfer.
Former Cameroonian player, Geremi Njitap claims that Inter Miami has no chance of winning the FIFA World Cup this season.
The former player shared that despite Lionel Messi being on the team, there is no chance of winning the FIFA cup, he also added that Messi has passed his prime.
“Lionel Messi is no longer young, he is going to come up against great clubs who have great players in the peak of their careers. Does he have a chance of winning it? I don’t think so.”
Ex Chelsea Striker, Tore Andre Flo praises the club for their recent decision on signing in AC Milan goalkeeper, Mike Maignan.
The former striker explained the decision as a smart move on Chelsea’s part and highlighted how strong the team’s defense will become.
“It sounds like a good signing to me. A club like Chelsea would improve the squad straight away if there was any doubt [over Robert Sanchez]. To me it sounds very, very smart.”
