Pep Guardiola: "Everything is going wrong"
“We have to come back - the results since 2025 is not good, in terms of the Premier League and now today,” said City’s head coach. “But we go forward, Wolves and then Galatasaray. We have the feeling everything is going wrong, the details, but we have to try and change that.
“I don’t have any doubts in this competition, nothing is taken for granted that is for sure. [Manchester] United beat us and were better. Today [Bodo/Glimt] had momentum. But the team was there and we created - on the transition they are really good.” Of course we lost but I know how good a team they are, I didn’t underestimate them. [Reaching the] semi-final last season in the Europa league, fresh in mind, and we had some injuries to important players. We fought 10 v 11. We have to change the dynamic for the next game against Wolves and against Galatasaray.
“We were flat against United but not today. We don’t have Savinho, Jeremy, our wingers. In other departments we have players not here and they would give us more consistency. But [Bodo/Glimt] were well organised. We struggled a little bit. They were really good. And we congratulate them.”
I didn’t think he’d go there but he’s really apportioning quite a lot of the blame for this defeat at the hands of Bodo/Glimt to the absence of several players. A reminder that recent Manchester City acquisition Antoine Semenyo cost about £20m more than the Norwegian club’s entire squad. Oh Pep.

Rayan Ait-Nouri: “It was a tough game,” said the City defender in an interview with City’s media team. “Bodo made a good game. We tried to push them in the first half. We tried to score. We made some mistakes and they scored two goals. We need to be ready for the next game because we have one more game against Galatasaray at home and we have a big game against Wolves on Saturday and we have to give our best next week.”
