Summary of what Pep Guardiola said after this match.
Pep Guardiola talking to BT sports: in general we controlled the game but unluckily we were not clinical enough in front of goal. "We need to improve on this area in this competition" My target is Westham in three days, if people says Bayern Munich I don't think we are favourites.
