'I didn't see this when I destroyed Man Utd' - Pep Guardiola hits back at Patrice Evra and Dimitar Berbatov

Pep Guardiola has hit out at former Manchester United players Patrice Evra and Dimitar Berbatov following their criticism of Manchester City in light of their Champions League exit to Real Madrid. City were within minutes of a place in the Champions League final, but Rodrygo scored twice in injury-time to take the game to extra-time where Karim Benzema netted from the spot to send Real to the final in Paris. Ad/> Evra questioned Guardiola’s management style, saying the Catalan does not want his players to think for themselves.

That's why when they're in trouble they don't want to. They don't have anyone on the pitch to help them. “He chooses his teams like that, he can't train people with personality.

He did it at Barcelona, but he builds his team to control everyone. When things go wrong, he always decides.” Berbatov was equally critical, saying City showed the mentality of a small team in surrendering a lead in the dying moments. “If a small team, who don't have that much talent and class concede two goals at the end of the game, we'll say it's because they are a small team with a small mindset and with no winning mentality,” Berbatov said.
