Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola delivers an inspirational speech after their win over Chelsea in FA Cup Semi-finals match

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, was effusive in his admiration for the manner in which his players responded to a scenario that he deemed “unacceptable.”

Pep Guardiola praised Manchester City’s victory over Chelsea as one of the best he has ever witnessed, despite the fact that the club had a limited amount of time to recover from the Champions League catastrophe that they experienced.

Real Madrid emerged victorious after two hours of grueling action at the Etihad Stadium, which resulted in City being eliminated from European play on penalties. The match took place in the middle of the week. The majority of Guardiola’s anger was reserved for after their 1-0 victory, despite the fact that he had already shown his displeasure by being requested to play their FA Cup final on the Saturday weeks before the game.

In his news conference, Guardiola continued to express his dissatisfaction with the choice to play City on Saturday rather than Sunday, despite the fact that they were the only club that was engaged in the midweek match. He had previously expressed his thoughts about the decision to play City on Saturday. The ‘unacceptable’ circumstance prompted Guardiola to say that it was one of the best performances he had ever witnessed.

Would you like me to restate everything once more? I want you to know that I am overjoyed to be playing in the FA Cup semi-finals with you. According to him, “It is a dream come true to be in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.” As much as I enjoy being here, I am unable to comprehend.

It is for the sake of the athletes’ health as well as the spectacle at hand. I am puzzled as to how we managed to make it through today. There are people who are unable to fathom what it would be like to be eliminated from the Champions League in the manner in which we are eliminated. The health of the players is expected to come on Sunday, so why don’t we give them one more day to get ready?

Neither the Champions League nor the Europa League are open to Coventry, Chelsea, or United. These three teams do not compete in any competition. If you are a broadcaster? Okay. Do not ask me to do additional things after the fact since we are not going to do it.

“To play now is not appropriate in any way. The conditions in which we played were really challenging. We were not able to maintain control of the game, and we dropped a lot of balls because we were exhausted. The game was really close, and Chelsea had a lot of wonderful opportunities throughout transitions.

An outstanding effort was made by a few of the players. The things that they have accomplished today are among the most impressive things that I have ever witnessed from a group of players. The match against Madrid lasted for 120 minutes, physical and emotional. Recovery began the following day. In the morning of yesterday, just say hello, you are unable to prepare anything at all, and you have four hours to be here and play the game in these conditions. Oh, no.

“I don’t comprehend how we managed to stay alive. We have a great deal of satisfaction, as we have demonstrated once more how competitive we are, and at the conclusion of the season, we will return to this venue to compete against either United or Coventry in the FA Cup final.
