Pep Guardiola insists he will relish the challenge of getting Manchester City’s season back on track after their thumping defeat at Sporting Lisbon.
City were beaten 4-1 in Portugal despite taking an early lead through Phil Foden and have now lost three matches in a row in three different competitions. The Blues visit Brighton on Saturday in the Premier League before the November international break.
And Guardiola insisted he saw plenty of positives in Lisbon despite the scoreline, and said he is ready for the fight of restoring City’s campaign.

Here’s every word from the City boss.

“I don’t agree with him. We played really bad against Bournemouth and really good today The only regret is conceding the third and fourth. The penalties are not necessary. They did a good action at the start of the second half but 44 minutes left and emotionally we were not stable.

We knew it would be a tough season at the start but this is what it is. I like it, I love it, I want to face it and lift my players and try it. Life is like this. Maybe the past six Premier Leagues in seven years and four in a row is an exception. Today we played really good, Bournemouth they deserved it. Continue.”
