Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has shed light on the factors behind his team’s inability to secure a win against Arsenal in their recent 0-0 draw.
Speaking ahead of Manchester City’s upcoming Champions League clash with Real Madrid, Guardiola addressed the offensive shortcomings displayed by his side during the Premier League encounter against Arsenal.
Despite dominating possession, City failed to breach Arsenal’s defense, resulting in a goalless stalemate. While some players faced criticism for their performance, Guardiola emphasized that the team’s struggle to create chances was not solely attributable to any individual, including Erling Haaland.
In his press conference on Wednesday, Guardiola remarked, “The reason we didn’t create enough chances against Arsenal is not down to Erling. We need more presence in the final third, with more people. We played an exceptional game… but we lacked numbers in the final third. Nonetheless, Erling remains exceptional.”
