Guardiola mimics being shot as he defends his tactics

Guardiola said it has been 17 years since he began managing in that competition and that "every time I lose, boom, my God. Pew, pew, pew," as he mimicked being shot.

"I have been massacred," he added.

He recalled playing a Champions League final without Fernandinho and Rodri as holding midfielder against Chelsea, asking, "Do you think that's normal? No, honestly." "[Ilkay] Gundogan played in that moment. I was destroyed," he said.

He said he knew "how Rodri was playing and Fernandinho was playing, it was not the Rodri that we met after," and that "in the other positions there are a lot of times many decisions coming for many, many, many reasons, for how you handle the pressure and the other ones." He concluded, "I can explain that but is it going to convince you for the next time?"
