Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola was elated with his players after the 4-2 win way against Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo in their Champions League groupstage fixture.

The former Barcelona coach spoke with Mediaset Premium after the match and was very happy with how his players performed after being outplayed in the first half: "We tried to block their left flank, but they got there first and were too strong, they massacred us for 20 minutes. I am glad with the way we reacted, especially after going to 2-2, as Bernardo Silva kept the ball and moved it around."

Guardiola heaped praise on Sarri's men stating that: "I am so proud because I know the side we beat. I am in love with Napoli, with the way they make short passes and they didn't give us time to think in the opening 20 minutes. We didn't have the courage to play. Beating Napoli twice in two weeks is an incredible achievement. They are perhaps the best side I've faced in my career."

"We are very similar teams, we like to keep the ball and press, so whoever does that best is going to trouble the other side" Guardiola concluded.
