A dejected Kevin De Bruyne was honest to say City were not good enough as they suffered a shock defeat against Lyon in the Champions League.
Kevin De Bruyne and his teammates were left stunned as they bowed out of the Champions League yesterday.
Despite seeing more of the ball, the Manchester outfit were second best and never looked like they wanted to win.
After the loss, many were quick to blame Pep Guardiola for some funny looking tactics on the evening.
Regardless of anything, De Bruyne only has himself and his teammates to blame, saying they ere not good enough.
“Different year, same stuff,” De Bruyne said as quoted by Manchester Evening News.
“First half wasn’t good enough, I think we know that, we started slow and didn’t have many options.
“Second half, we played really well, we came back to 1-1 and had all the chances, and then obviously it’s 2-1 and 3-1, and that ends the game.”
“It’s a shame for us to go out in that way.”
De Bruyne also spoke on the VAR controversy surrounding Lyon’s second goal.
“I think in the second half we played well, we had them under pressure and were more offensive like we normally are.”
“Their keeper made a few saves, and even at 2-1 if Raz (Sterling) scores the goal it’s 2-2 and the game goes on, but that’s football, they’re the fine margins that make a difference, and they made it 3-1.”
“The game was open, but I think they didn’t really create much apart from the two goals.”
“We need to learn. It’s not good enough.”
Yet again, the Citizens suffer heartbreak on the European front. Kevin De Bruyne himself has confessed he wants to lift the Champions League trophy with City. Well, they must try again next season.
