Pep Guardiola said he was happy with the way his team, Manchester City, played another loss.
The Premier League champion was defeated by 2-0 against Juventus, which led to his decline to 22 in the Champions League.
City took control of most of the match in Turin, but he received a counterattack in both goals.
However, Guardiola defended his players although he only achieved one out of 10 for the Spanish.
Speaking to TNT SPORTS after the match, he said: “We played well, really, really good.
“We received a few goals, and some transformations occurred, but I am very proud of these players.
“They have presented everything and tried and now we live this period and we hope we can change the results.
“We played well”

“I know it is difficult, in the Champions League in Europe. We really played well. We have done well today, and we haven't lost much balls as in the past, we tried and reached our positions.
“In front of the Italian teams, the defense is very deep and very coherent. The master of this type of case. We play as we and we miss the result, but the performance exists.
“We have two games, we may need one point.
“If you go to Turin, Paris, our three matches were really out of our ground.
It seems unlikely that City is now automatically qualified for the Champions League.
Instead, they will have to enter a decisive tour to obtain the twenty -fourth and fourth positions.
If they win, they will get a place in the round of 16 of the competition.
But as Guardiola stated, they will likely need at least one additional point of their match against Paris Saint -Germain and Kaloub Borouge.
