Guardiola adamant Man City are no Champions League flops

Pep Guardiola claims Manchester City did not fail in the Champions League despite their quarter-final exit.

City were beaten 5-1 on aggregate by Liverpool to crash out at the last-eight stage, having gone one phase further than in their first campaign under Guardiola.

But the Premier League leaders were hard done by, according to their manager, after seeing goals ruled out in both legs, with Guardiola sent to the stands for remonstrating with the referee when Leroy Sane had a goal ruled out at the Etihad Stadium.

"We scored two legal goals in two games and then, in Juventus v Real Madrid, you are talking penalty or no penalty," he said.
