Manchester City head coach Josep Guardiola shared his thoughts after the defeat against Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal in the Round of 16 of the 2025 Club World Cup. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The match ended 3-4 after extra time. According to the head coach, it is natural for all matches in the knockout stage to be difficult.
Although they let the opponent play, they had many opportunities ahead. The team performed well in this game, but the opponent's goalkeeper made several excellent saves that affected the result.
Guardiola did not provide any further comments. In the quarter-finals of the tournament, Al-Hilal will face the Brazilian team Fluminense. Fluminense had eliminated Milan's Inter from the competition.
These matches demonstrate the continuation of interesting and strong competition in world club football.
