Manchester City set a record number of successful surprises in a Champions League match. The "Citizens" handed the ball 978 times when the Basel lost 1: 2, which was the first home for City since December 2016.
The meeting was protocol after the City's victory 4: 0 in the first match and the revenge last night the hosts did not put the maximum effort, which annoyed Pap Guardiola.
"When we pass the ball, the idea is to attack and look for empty spaces, and Basel just gave us for the submission, it's not football," Guardiola said.
"It is not easy to motivate the team after winning 4: 0 in the first game, we talked about it and it was good at the beginning, but after 1: 1 we just waited for the game to finish, the second half we played very poorly," Guardiola said.
