'Maybe he's cleverer than me!' - Pep struggles to answer Bielsa's question

Pep Guardiola revealed that he struggled to answer a post-match question by Leeds counterpart Marcelo Bielsa following Manchester City’s 1-1 draw.

Guardiola was left in the firing line once again on Saturday as Manchester City dropped points away to Bielsa’s Leeds United at Elland Road.

The Citizens took a first-half lead, courtesy of Raheem Sterling, as they aimed to bounce back from a 5-2 thumping against Leicester City last weekend. However, Rodrigo’s second-half equalizer rescued a point for Leeds.

Therefore, City have now just won one of their opening three Premier League games for this season. The visitors were also wasteful in front of goal, but surprisingly trailed Leeds in terms of ball possession and passes.

Guardiola and Bielsa later exchanged a hug once the game ended, with the latter immediately asking for his counterpart’s thoughts.

"It was good, eh?"

“He said to me ‘What is your opinion of the game?’ And I said ‘After one second I am not able to analyze the game!” Guardiola told Sky Sports.

“Maybe he’s cleverer than me! I’m not. I need time to process how was the game, but you know I said that I thought it was a good game, it was fair and that’s why the result was the result.”

Guardiola and City will return to action on October 17 for a Carabao Cup quarter-final clash against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.
