ESPN FC’s Julien Laurens, Shaka Hislop and Stewart Robson join Dan Thomas to react to Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola’s downplaying of the importance of tactics in the Champions League after his side’s quarterfinal loss to Lyon. Hislop and Robson call out Guardiola’s decision to play a high line and three-man defensive line against a pacey Lyon attack, while Laurens describes the surprise Rudi Garcia and his Ligue 1 side felt when they saw that Guardiola chose to mirror their formation rather than play to Man City’s strengths, while leaving Phil Foden on the bench.
