Pep Guardiola delivers "crazy" tactics jibe as Man City boss defends on-pitch debrief

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has defended his decision to hold an on-field debrief following Wednesday night's 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig in the Champions League - and quipped that he could go "crazy" with his tactics and play nine strikers in next month's Round of 16 return leg.

The Premier League champions were dominant in the first-half and appeared to be cantering to a comfortable win after Riyad Mahrez swept them into a 27th minute lead. But the highly-rated Josko Gvardiol netted from a 70th-minute corner to equalise for the Bundesliga outfit, who will travel to the Etihad Stadium on level terms with Guardiola's side.

Guardiola made no substitutions during the match - and then insisted that he may be even bolder with his tactics when the two sides meet again on March 14.
