It may have been a defeat for Leeds United against Manchester City this weekend, but the performance was an encouraging one. The final score was 4-0 to Pep Guardiola's side but Jesse Marsch stressed after the game that he felt it was 'not a 4-0 game', with City's first two goals coming from set-pieces.
Guardiola himself spoke positively about the Whites' performance, saying that his team had to be excellent in order to get the result. The Spaniard said: "We knew before the game, between two Madrid semi-finals, coming here, the way they play. They surprised me a bit, playing with a five at the back, not being as aggressive as they normally are.
"We suffered a lot in the first half, for the last 20-25 minutes. The transitions they did were very good. But after the second goal we had the control and could have scored more goals. Incredible result for us, so important.
