(Reuters) - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola showed no disappointment after a 2-1 Champions League defeat by Shakhtar Donetsk ended his team's unbeaten run in all competitions this season. "I'm so pleased for Tosin (Adarabioyo), Phil (Foden) and Brahim (Diaz) and how well they played," he told BT Sport. City were already assured of finishing as Group F winners and with one eye on Sunday's Premier League Manchester derby against United, Guardiola rested his entire first-choice back four. Shifting his attention to the United game, Guardiola refused to be drawn into billing City as Champions League favourites heading into Monday's last-16 draw in Nyon, Switzerland. "Now we are going to rest, come back tomorrow and prepare for the game (against Manchester United)," he said.
