Pep Guardiola singles out one individual for blame following Manchester City’s defeat to Manchester United.

Pep Guardiola took full responsibility for Manchester City’s disastrous collapse against Manchester United, despite the team’s recent struggles. After City initially led through Josko Gvardiol’s header, they conceded a late penalty from Bruno Fernandes, which equalized the match. Matheus Nunes then fouled Amad, leading to the winning goal for United shortly after. This defeat marked City’s eighth loss in their last 11 games across all competitions.

Guardiola refused to blame his players and acknowledged that the loss was down to his own shortcomings. He stated, “We gave away goals, it’s our fault. We didn’t play with composure.” Despite understanding the situation, he admitted that the team was not performing at their best and that he needed to find solutions, though he had yet to do so. Guardiola also emphasized that the team must play better and learn from their mistakes.

While Guardiola accepted responsibility, Bernardo Silva criticized his teammates, pointing out that the defeat was the result of poor decision-making. He expressed frustration, noting that at this level, repeated mistakes are not just bad luck. Silva said, “We have to look at ourselves,” and condemned the team’s last-minute errors, describing the performance as akin to under-15s. City now find themselves nine points behind Liverpool in the Premier League, with their title defense in jeopar
