Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola admitted that his team “didn’t create much”, congratulated Chelsea and claimed that Kevin de Bruyne’s injury “doesn’t look that good”.

Guardiola said: “We didn’t create much but we were there. In the last minutes we increased our quality and rhythm in the final third.

“But congratulations Chelsea. They are quality, strong, well-organised with seven players in the middle. It’s not easy. You need some actions for the quality. We were there in general. It was a tight game.

“Tomorrow they will do a test. It [De Bruyne’s injury] doesn’t look that good but we will see tomorrow what he has.

“We had two days and a half to recover. Everyone deserves to play. Don’t say we don’t pay attention [to the competition] just say we lost the game. When you lose the game the decisions are bad but it’s a poor argument”
