Manchester City manager Pep Guardiolaspeaking to the microphones of Sky Sportsanalyses the 2-2 draw against Arsenal: “I don’t know how many players [dell’Arsenal] they had cramps, but that can obviously happen in a tough match.
“We crossed and crossed and we had Ruben [Dias]Manuel [Akanji]Erling [Haaland] but when you cross they have Declan Rice, William Saliba, Gabriel, Riccardo Calafiori, so it’s very difficult. There were ten players there. In the end we got what we deserved”.
On Arsenal’s time-wasting: “Maybe I would have done the same with ten men. You’d have to ask Mikel [Arteta] what the tactics were. They were good with long balls to Kai Havertz who is so strong and they go for the second balls. In the end we were patient, we had the chances and we scored. That’s all.
On Rodri: “I don’t know how he is. I haven’t spoken to the doctors.”
