The game was a reflection of the attacking philosophies that both Guardiola and Jardim preach. "We are going to fly to Monaco to score as many goals as possible," Guardiola said. But Monaco's players were arguably even more threatening going forward and were slightly unfortunate to lose by a two-goal margin. Even Guardiola, one of the most attack-minded coaches in soccer history, was taken aback at Monaco's gung-ho approach. "The holding midfielder even commits forward and they are there with six or seven players (in attack)," Guardiola said.
