“We have 13 players, so ‍we are in a very difficult situation,” Guardiola ​admitted. “The players who ⁤played the ⁤match were⁤ suffering from some problems. We will⁤ see how their recovery process goes.”

Guardiola also praised the resilience ⁢of‌ his players, saying, “The ​players out there are fighting ⁣for survival, ‍they’re tough on themselves, and they’re focusing on us. The players I will never forget.”
