Pep Guardiola: 'Maybe I'm not good enough to help Man City win the Champions League'

Pep Guardiola has reacted to Man City’s elimination from the Champions League, saying: “Maybe I’m not good enough to help the team to do it.

“Nobody knows what would have happened with other players or managers. We were close – they know it, we know it – but what is important is we are going to try again next season, and then again.

“I don’t know. It’s a question I cannot answer (whether this City squad is capable of winning the Champions League).

“Before Madrid I didn’t know [too]. Sometimes you ask me questions but I don’t have the answer to all of your questions. Football is incredibly unpredictable. We saw it.

“Maybe I’m wrong, but I have the feeling that the people from Abu Dhabi bought this club and invested in these incredible facilities and players like a lot of other clubs in the world to have what we have lived in the last years – not to just win the Champions League.

“They did it to be there in all competitions every season and compete in all competitions until the end. We want to do it.”

City only have the Premier League title to fight for this season and will probably have to win all their remaining games to beat Liverpool to the Championship.
