Reagon Guardiola after the criticism of formation: I did my best

Pep Guardilla has defended his team's choice after Manchester City lost to Chelsea in the Champions League Final.

The hosting of the ruling Premier League champions for a first triumph in the club's elite race in Europe continues after Kai Havertz's cold finish in the first part secured a well-deserved 1-0 victory for Thomas Tucell's team in Porto.

Despite a dominant season, City was much less in Estadio do Dragao, recording only one blow at the gate in 90 minutes.

The Spanish has received particularly fierce criticism from fans and experts, with a surprising change in the attack after both Captain Fernandinho and Rodri were expelled from the initial formation in Porto.

None of the decisions were eventually given, although Guardiola defended his choice and insisted that Gundogan perform well in a role he has often played before, though undoubtedly not for some time.

I did my best in selection,” said Guardiola.

I tried the best choice to win the game. The players know that. I think Gundogan played well, it was extraordinary.

“It was a narrow game and we had ready-to-be options”.
