Manchester City crashed out of the Club World Cup as Al Hilal snatched a stunning 4-3 victory in extra-time. Pep ,who was worried of the toll the tournament was taking on his players said..
“It is a pity. We have been on an incredible journey together and were in a good place. The vibe was really good.I cannot thank the players enough for training and playing how they have been.But it was a difficult game. The margins were minimal. We created a lot and [Yassine] Bounou made incredible saves but we were so open.We would have loved to have continued, it will only be once every four years, and we had a feeling that the team was doing well.But we go home and now it is time to rest and rest our minds for the new season.”
In more bad news – Rodri is injured again.
