'Shut up, shut up!' Pep Guardiola has broken his silence on his argument with midfielder Kevin De Bruyne during Manchester City's 4-0 thrashing of Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night. 😬 Here's what he said! ▶️
The pair seemed to put their short exchange behind them quickly, though, with the Spaniard giving De Bruyne a warm embrace when he brought him off with less than 10 minutes to go before the end of the match."At 2-0, we rushed a lot," Guardiola told Spanish broadcaster"Right after the break, [Ilkay] Gundogan lost a ball, Kevin made three transitions that weren't necessary and we rushed a lot when we had to do the opposite, sink them and turn them, sink them and turn them.
"But it's normal. It gets close, you rush, and it has cost us more, although in general we have had an extraordinary game." The former FC Barcelona mentor also reserved special praise for midfielder Rodri, who impressed once again in the centre of the park."Everyone is talking about [Erling] Haaland, but without him [Rodri] this would not have been possible.
"He has become the best midfielder we have, it has been an imperial year. We are very happy, very much."
