Following Manchester City’s emphatic 4-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund in UEFA Champions League 2025/2026 Matchday 4.
Manchester city’s manager Pep Guardiola post-match press conference was honest and intense.
Guardiola admitted that the team struggled in the opening 10 minutes, as Borussia Dortmund’s aggressive six-man press caught them off guard. But after tactical tweaks specially introducing Ruben Dias City found control and ran the game.
Guardiola praised Erling Haaland’s goal and leadership with the captain’s armband, and he was delighted to see Phil Foden rediscover top form with two goals.
Pep Guardiola highlighted Phil Foden’s importance not just in the final third, but in transitions and team chemistry, describing him as a player “in love and joy.” He also addressed Rodri’s absence, clarifying it was a precaution.
