Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said on Saturday that his appearance lost 3-1 to Olympique Lyonnais to exit the Champions League because they lacked the necessary perfection in European competition.
Manchester City fell with a Goal by Maxwel Cornet in a sloppy early part of the quarter-final match.
Then they looked at themselves after the break and tied Kevin de Bruyne.
However, they were knocked down through two blows by Moussa Dembele, sandwiched between a Raheem Sterling ruling.
“That’s what it is and I hope one day we’ll get over that gap,” Guardiola said after his fourth consecutive UEFA Champions League loss to Manchester City.
“We fought in the first 25 minutes, but in the part of the moment we feel free. We were there and I felt like we were bigger than them. But we have to be the best at this festival and we weren’t.”
Guardiola did complain about Lyon’s moment goal, which survived a VAR review after a possible foul by Dembélé over Manchester City’s defence Aymeric Laporte.
“I don’t know, I don’t need to communicate about those cases because I happen to complain or look for excuses.
“We went out here, I already had the feeling that we were amazing, we made pit mistakes at the key moments.
Guardiola also took strong action against Sterling’s astonishing failure to put the 2-2 and were temporarily punished through Dembélé’s moment purpose, which was the fatal blow.
“That moment summed up this competition, we had to match and then we fit in the third goal. It’s this competition, you have to be perfect.
“We created more occasions, we had more shots, we did everything, but they took us away again.
