Pep Guardiola

"When you finish 22nd in the tournament, it means we haven't been good. This is our worst year."

After the heavy defeat at Real Madrid, which cost them elimination from the Champions League, Pep Guardiola spoke with disappointment about the match against Blancos: "Today the best team won, we don't have the rhythm that Real has at the moment. If you play an open match with them, they are very capable. I faced the best Real in recent years, they are able to keep the ball long, defend, run and play high when they want. There is nothing we can do, congratulations to them."

"Did I feel helpless? No, I can't say that. In previous years we were a great team, but this season, for many reasons, we are no longer," Guardiola said, lowering expectations for the Citizens. "For many years we have done something historic in our country, winning so many trophies like never before. Now we have to focus on securing a place among the top four or five teams in the championship."

"Is it the end of a cycle? Maybe so. Nothing is eternal, some players have reached a certain age, nothing lasts forever. We have won six Premier Leagues in seven years and in Europe we have reached at least the quarter-finals, semi-finals or final every year," concluded the Catalan coach, who nevertheless assured that he has no intention of leaving: "Do I still have the strength to continue? Yes, yes, I want to continue."

Ancelotti: Qualification gives us great motivation

"We have played big games against City in recent years and this qualification gives us a lot of motivation. Was the reaction in Manchester more important or the approach today? The key was to defend well, we did that in the first leg and in the second leg. When you defend well, the quality of the team comes to the fore."

This is what Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said after the success against City, which was sealed by Mbappé's hat-trick: "He is very calm, he needed this hat-trick. He has settled in well and the future with him will be positive."

"For us, the Champions League is the most important competition, but there are still many games to play. The team is in a good moment, we are recovering some players. We hope to continue on this path," Ancelotti added.
