In a pre-match interview, Guardiola said of his recent lackluster performance `There are so many things to do as a manager, but there were things I missed. There are some things I didn't do well. If you lose a lot of games, the coach has a huge responsibility to carry. There are things that the team needs, confidence, etc., and I didn't do that."
Then "I blamed myself. I led the players, but I didn't bounce back. This is the reality. We were the only unbeaten team in Europe until October 30th, but we immediately crashed. We talked a lot about this. We need to find a way to get better results" he added.
