Guardiola: We were so open in defeat

“It’s a shame. We made an incredible trip together and we were in a good place. The atmosphere was really good.
“I cannot thank the players enough for training and the game as they were.
“But it was a difficult game. The margins were minimal. We created a lot and [Yassine] Bounou made incredible stops but we were so open.
“We would have liked to continue, it will only be once every four years, and we felt that the team was fine.
“But we go home and now it’s time to rest and rest for the new season.
“We regret a little that we allowed them to run a little more. They defended so deeply, the wingers were so fast and Bounou made a lot of backups.
“In the end, we must mark and be clinical. They arrived more in the transitions. They did not create much in the first half-we did it but we could not finish it.
