Post-Match Verdict 📺

Rodrigo on 3-1 win 👇

“I think it was a tough game.

“We could have scored three or four goals in the first half but we were not clinical enough.

“In the first chance they had, they scored, sometimes football is like this.

“I think the most important part of this game is to arrive at half time, talk to the guys and say keep calm, don’t panic. Let’s keep doing our job and in the end we scored three goals.

“Julian was unbelievable. It was a complete game in all the terms.”

Post-Match Verdict 📺

Pep Guardiola on Rodrigo 👇

“Hopefully he can be better and improve but he is an extraordinary holding midfielder.

“We were lucky the club signed this player and when he arrived he was not this type of player.

“Now he is one of the captains. He is a top class player.”

Post-Match Verdict 📺

Pep Guardiola on Julian Alvarez 👇

“He deserves it, every single game he is working, scoring and making assists. He deserves it.”
