Guardiola and a Man City player have conflicting views after recent defeat.

Pep Guardiola's recent struggles as Manchester City's manager continued on Wednesday night as they suffered another defeat, this time against Juventus in the Champions League. It was a disappointing night for both Guardiola and midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, who seemed to be on different pages after the match.

The loss in Turin was just the latest in a string of disappointing results for City, who now find themselves in 22nd place in the Champions League table with only two wins out of six games. This poor run of form is something that hasn't been seen in the club for many years, as they have only managed to win one out of their last 10 matches in all competitions.

Gundogan, who gave a brutally honest take on the team's performance after the match, suggested that they may be overcomplicating things on the field, leading to basic errors. He expressed his disappointment, stating that despite creating chances, they were conceding dangerous attacks and losing duels too easily. He also mentioned that they need to simplify their play and focus on possession, rather than trying to do too much and giving away counter-attacks.

Gundogan's comments were later brought up to Guardiola, who seemed confused by them. The manager defended his team's performance, stating that they did well in terms of keeping possession and creating chances. He acknowledged that Italian teams are experts at defending deep and compact, but was proud of his players for sticking to their style of play. However, he did admit that they lacked the final product and need to work on improving their results.

Despite their struggles, Guardiola remains positive and believes that his team is playing well, it's just the results that are lacking. He praised their efforts and stated that they will continue to work hard to turn things around.

Up next for Manchester City is a highly anticipated Manchester derby on Sunday, and they will be looking to bounce back from their recent string of defeats. It will be a tough challenge, but Guardiola and his team are determined to get back on track and prove themselves as the Premier League champions.
