Erling Haaland struck twice for City on Wednesday night,
"We played a really good game,” said Guardiola post-match. “We are trying to create more chances and concede few, that’s what happened.
“They have fast, fast players. We concede few chances and create a lot in the Champions League so I’m really pleased for that but of course we were close.
“We could not defend well the free kick, and we concede the penalty.
“Football you have to win and it’s down to the result. If you analyse the game, in many things it was really good.
“Step by step we will do better but many things, with the chances we found especially Phil (Foden) in the first half.
“Many players did really good and we concede almost nothing. They defend so deep, so tight, we didn’t expect it with the way they have played.
“We played really good, this is my feeling. When it’s close, we have to defend the set pieces. We’ll take the point.”
