Guardiola Lauds ‘Fantastic’ City After Dominant Champions League Victory

Asher Ives October 4, 2024 2 min read
Manchester City players celebrating Champions League victory.

Manchester City showcased their prowess in the Champions League with a commanding 4-0 victory over Slovan Bratislava. Goals from Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, and James McAtee marked a significant win for the team, securing their first three points of the season after a previous draw against Inter Milan.

Key Takeaways

  • Dominant Performance: City displayed a strong offensive strategy, scoring four goals against Champions League debutants Slovan Bratislava.
  • Player Highlights: Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, and James McAtee were instrumental in the victory.
  • Guardiola’s Praise: The manager expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance and individual contributions.

Guardiola’s Reflections

After the match, Pep Guardiola expressed his delight with the team’s performance, emphasizing the quality of his players. He stated, "The group of players are fantastic, we played a good game, a lot of chances and the first three points of the competition."

Guardiola was particularly pleased with Gundogan’s performance, especially following a lackluster draw against Newcastle in the Premier League. He remarked, "He played a fantastic game today," highlighting the midfielder’s return to form.

Player Performances

  • Ilkay Gundogan: Scored a crucial goal and was pivotal in midfield.
  • Phil Foden: Found the net for the first time this season, showcasing his potential.
  • Erling Haaland: Continued his scoring streak, netting another goal for the team.
  • James McAtee: Scored his debut goal for City, earning praise from Guardiola.

Guardiola noted Foden’s goal as a significant moment, stating, "Made a fantastic goal, just passed the ball to the post, always I say ‘pass the ball to the post, not shoot, and you’ll have more chances.’" This reflects Guardiola’s coaching philosophy, emphasizing precision over power.

McAtee’s Debut Goal

James McAtee’s debut goal was a highlight of the match, and Guardiola expressed his happiness for the young player. He said, "We are so happy with him, he’s adorable, and all the guys love him." McAtee’s ability to maneuver in tight spaces and score will undoubtedly boost his confidence moving forward.

Looking Ahead

With this victory, Manchester City now has four points after two games in the Champions League group stage. Guardiola’s focus remains on winning matches rather than goal difference, stating, "But I’m not thinking about (goal difference), win your games it will be enough."

As City prepares for their next fixtures, the manager’s confidence in his squad and their recent performance will be crucial in their pursuit of Champions League glory this season.
