Guardiola on ex-Benfica player's red in City v Real Madrid: reaction | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola was not pleased with the fact that Bernardo Silva was sent off in the match between Manchester City and Real Madrid. At the end of the match, where the citizens were defeated by the merengues 2-1, the Catalan coach assured that if the match had been 11 against 11, the result would have been quite different.

"It's difficult from the moment you're losing 4-0 and with one player less. But we did everything...", acknowledged Pep Guardiola, analyzing the match that took place at the Etihad Stadium. However, the Catalan admitted that the chances of a comeback were very slim.

"We have an extraordinary team and extraordinary players. The future will be bright. It's a learning process. But it should have been eleven against eleven. We will never know. Maybe we would have ended up losing 6-0, but it's a fact...", he added.

"He's a fantastic goalkeeper. The first 15, 20 minutes were good, but then ten against eleven was difficult. In the end, Courtois was the best player on the field, which says a lot about how good we were. The feeling I have is... give me the chance to play 11 against 11", concluded Pep Guardiola.
