“We can’t deny how happy we are but we are far from the team we were,” Guardiola said.
“I want feedback from the whole club, not just from the players. We are a happy flower organisation. I don’t want to be, I want to beat Arsenal. If we play like this Arsenal will ruin us.”
Guardiola sent a message with his team selection, with Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva among the star names dropped on the bench, with Alvarez being linked with Haaland in a change of system.
