Pep Guardiola declared he has been ‘massacred’ as the Manchester City boss launched an impassioned defence of his team selection in their Champions League defeat by Real Madrid. ‘How many times do I hear, “Pep is a genius” for the team selection?’ he said. Did you read the comments before the game, (about) my team selection, on the social media? Pew, pew, pew,’ he said. ‘It’s a question to improve, improve, improve and maybe next time will be better.’Although still favourite to win another Premier League golden boot, Haaland’s form will be a concern for City.
