Knocked out of Club World Cup by Al-Hilal, English side will 'rest minds' for new season
-
ORLANDO - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has urged his team to learn from their mistakes, as they crashed out of the Club World Cup with a surprise 4-3 defeat in extra time by Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal in the last 16 on June 30.
The loss in Orlando came hours after Inter Milan were also eliminated by Fluminense on a day of shock results.
"Unfortunately, we can't continue in the competition, so we have to learn and keep moving forward," Guardiola told reporters.
"Al-Hilal don't just run, they have a lot of quality. We created a lot with wingers, but they are a complete team... I have a big, big opinion of Al-Hilal, but I (also) think we had a good game, to be honest."
Champions League runners-up Inter were dumped out 2-0 by Brazilian side Fluminense in Charlotte and Guardiola's City joined them after Marcos Leonardo's brace left the English Premier League giants on the wrong end of a seven-goal thriller.
Al-Hilal, who recorded one of the greatest results in Middle Eastern football history, will face Fluminense in Orlando in the quarter-finals on July 4.
