In his post-match interview, Pep Guardiola rejects Gundogan’s analysis, and insists his team played really well but just didn’t get the rub of the green. He may well think that. They certainly dominated for long periods in terms of possession, but Juventus defended them very well and they very rarely threatened to actually score. Anyway, on to the next game, namely Manchester United at home on Sunday.
And that’s all from me. Good night/morning/whatever-it-is-where-you are everyone. Here’s a bonus match report for you.
