Guardiola remembers Madrid in its arbitration complaint: "Last year they expelled Vidal unjustly ..."

More restrained than in their protests during the match, but Pep Guardiola again took advantage of his appearance at a press conference after the game his team lost against Liverpool to charge against Mateu Lahoz and against arbitration on the global stage in the tie. "I told him it was Sané's goal, that Milner had touched the ball, and that's why he sent me away, I did not insult him, I told him: It's a goal, if he comes from Milner he's not out of the game," explained the Spanish coach. press conference, although in statements to BT Sport it cost him more to bite his tongue: " The referee is a special guy , I know him from Spain, he likes to be different, when people see things, he sees completely the opposite"

"[Things] would have been different if we had gone 2-0 at half-time, it would also have been knowing that Salah's goal in Anfield is out of play, just like Gabriel's goal was also", he said. reference to a goal that did end up annulling the Brazilian in the final minutes of the first leg. "In this competition the teams are very even and the influence of arbitration decisions is very important, last season Arturo Vidal was unfairly expelled against Real Madrid, Bayern was eliminated and Madrid passed, we will try again next season "

"We have to recover mentally"

"We have done incredible 10 months, we have to recover mentally for the six games that we have left, because the ten winning months that we have chained are exceptional, we have to analyze match by match," said Pep, aware that in England they are already charging the inks against him. " It's impossible to maintain the same pace and intensity throughout the season, maybe in the future I can see how we can do better, but I have to give the players a lot of credit."

As for the tie, Guardiola chose to praise the rival and their tradition in the Champions League, a competition in which the Reds have won the title up to five times. "We knew it was going to be hard to pass, I have to analyze each game because when you look at the statistics we are above the Premier League, but we have lost three consecutive games ", he analyzed about the collapse of his team at the key moment of the year. "We played against a very good Liverpool, look at Barcelona today! This competition is very special, and also its fans believe that the Champions is their competition."

Of course, Guardiola also wanted to wish the best to Jürgen Klopp and his men ahead of a semifinals to which Liverpool has managed to return a decade later: "I want to congratulate you, hopefully you can represent England well in the next round "
