Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola summed up the game against Brighton.
The teams played a draw in the postponed match of the 32nd round of the Premier League (1:1). The Citizens approached this game in the status of champions of England.
“Exceptional game. Congratulations to Brighton on a well-deserved promotion to the Europa League.
The game we played took place 48 hours after drinking all the alcohol in Manchester. 48 hours later we performed with dignity and showed why we became champions.
We showed what we are capable of with and without the ball. I didn’t notice a single drop in our intensity. They had chances, we had chances, we scored, they scored.
Both teams want to have the ball, both teams want to press. Goalkeepers played a fundamental role in this match. Knowing the quality they [«Брайтон»] possess, we can say that this is an exceptional team.

“Look. Look, if it’s a foul, then every action against Erling is a foul.”

“I complained that the goal was not counted.”
Was this game a good test
“It was absolutely accurate, Brighton were destroying other opponents they played. They did it at certain times, especially in the last 10 or 15 minutes. It was difficult for us, but we did very well.
We must not slow down the momentum. I didn’t see it against Chelsea, I didn’t see it today. During the week we must rest, recover mentally. The last six months have not been easy to play with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and chasing Arsenal. Training is now relaxed,” Guardiola said.
