Pep Guardiola admits Man City deserve to boo after Champions League collapse

Pep Guardiola admitted that Manchester City fans are entitled to a boo after seeing his team take a three-goal lead in the last 15 minutes.

Feyenoord's David Hancko scored the equalizer in the 89th minute and City conceded at least two goals in six consecutive games for the first time since 1963. “People come here not to remember the success of the past,” the City boss said. “They come here to see the team win and perform well, and we have to do that too.

“They support us all the time. When we go away, our fans are great. Of course they are absolutely right to express what they feel, absolutely.” City have dropped to 15th in the Champions League and Guardiola insisted Josko Gvardiol will learn after making another mistake, sparking Feyenoord's incredible comeback.

“He is so young, he will learn,” Guardiola said. “I would be completely wrong if I point to a specific player. The match was fine at 3-0, we played well, but then we conceded a lot of goals because we were not stable. We gave them the first and then the other .” one, that's why it was hard.

“We have lost a lot of games lately. We are vulnerable and of course we needed a win. I don't know if it's mental. The first goal can't happen, and neither can the second.”

Guardiola must somehow pick his side up for Sunday's clash with Liverpool at Anfield and if they lose they will be eleven points behind the Reds. I have to, it's my job,” he said.

Feyenoord boss Brian Priske was happy with the draw for former boss and Reds head coach Arne Slot. “I'm sure he's proud,” Priske said. 'He's following us, I know that. We certainly did everything we could to help him.”
