Following the 2-1 lose against Leeds United; Manchester City coach, Pep Guardiola congratulated them on their win, stating that it was a game they controlled but lost due to mistake. He said, "Congratulations to Leeds first of all. Secondly, 11 v 11 was a game like we make two actions but we control, our build up was good and we create some clear chances. Then we made a mistake, didn't defend it well and they scored a goal. "Then after that they defend man to man. We controlled for 40 mins, but before the goal we let them run and we lose the game." Pep said that they deserved the win; giving an instance with Bayern Munich and PSG game in the Champions League, he stressed that there are times when you create chances and lose. "Sometimes with Leeds they create more chances and lose. Last time in champions league Bayern shot thirty nine times and PSG five. Everyone has a plan as a manager. We gave them the first goal and after we created chances, not too many clear cut though. They deserve it," he said. The club's coach stated that he has confidence with his team, and sometimes it is necessary to lose so that they can understand what they have done wrong. He said, "We need points still because our opponent can win more points. But we have three finals. I have incredible confidence with the guys, defeat sometimes is necessary to understand what we have done wrong."
