DBasia.news – Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola admitted his team played poorly when they lost 0-2 to Arsenal in the FA Cup semifinal at Wembley, Sunday (7/19/2020) AM.

Manchester City were helpless after losing 2-0 against Arsenal in the FA Cup semifinal, at Wembley Stadium, Sunday (7/19) AM. Two Arsenal goals were created by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

These results were unexpected. As Manchester City had won a victory. In addition, at the last meeting, The Citizens won with a score of 3-0.

“We did not perform well. We were not quite ready,” Guardiola said as reported by Goal.

“If you don’t perform for 90 minutes in the semifinals, that can happen. Man City didn’t appear well, but we are human too. The opponents played well and sometimes it happens.”

“The only regret is that we did not perform well in the first half like the second round. We changed tactics, but we couldn’t do it,” Guardiola stated.

In terms of opportunities, actually Manchester City won more (12 chances). However, of these, only two led to the goal.

“I say at the break we still had time. We changed things from a mental and aggressive side,” Guardiola added.

“Mistakes in front of the goal often occur. However, today the reason is not that.” Now, Manchester City’s only hope of winning the title this season is in the Champions League. Sergio Aguero and his colleagues will face Real Madrid in the second leg of the top 16 with a 2-1 aggregate advantage.
