"We played a really good game, Guardiola said. In football you have to win with the result. If you analyse the game there were many things that were very good. Step by step we will be better but we had many chances and Phil [Foden] in the first half and many players played really good. We conceded almost nothing. They defended so deep and tight, that is so different to the way Monaco play in Ligue 1, but we played really good. When it's close, you have to defend and we take the point."
"It isn't good enough, the Norwegian striker said of the team's performance. We have to try and win the next game. It is the only thing we can do. We need more energy. We needed to get at them more like in the first half, they took the lead in the second half and I don't think it's good enough."
Manchester City were held to a 2-2 draw in Monaco after a last-minute Eric Dier penalty awarded following a VAR referral for a high boot by Nico Gonzalez. Erling Haaland scored twice but City were pegged back by Jordan Teze and Dier's late spot-kick. Pep Guardiola declined to comment on the Spanish refereeing decision and referenced officials from his homeland. Guardiola praised the team's dominant performance, noting many chances, strong defending and first-half contributions from Phil Foden. Haaland described the performance as not good enough and called for more energy and a win in the next game.
