Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said his side lost 3-1 to Olympique Lyonnais to exit the Champions League in the quarterfinals because it lacked the perfection needed in Europe's top competition. “It is what it is and hopefully one day we'll bridge this gap,” Guardiola told BT Sport after a fourth successive failure in the Champions League with City. “I don't know, I don't want to talk about those circumstances because sometimes it seems like I'm complaining or looking for excuses. “That moment sums up this competition, we had to equalise and after we conceded the third goal. “We created more chances, had more shots, we did everything but unfortunately we are out again.”
