Pep Guardiola Reaction
"Congratulations to Sporting Lisbon for the game.
"We had a fantastic first half, now we are struggling to score. We create and concede when the opponents don't do much.
"The first half was really good, we scored a goal, but every pass, the simple things we missed sometimes.
"It can happen. After the third and the fourth we have to avoid it. Emotionally we were not stable enough and in this competition you have to be stable. At 2-1, many things can happen. We have to be emotionally more stable."

This is either going to be a turning point in the season or a sign of things to come.

This is mad. City were knocking it about for fun for most of the first half yet went in at 1-1. They've barely had a touch in the second half and are 3-1 down
