It was difficult with them. Guardiola names two of Chelsea's best players

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola spoke to reporters after the 12th round match of the Premier League with Chelsea (4:4).

In particular, the Spanish coach named the players who impressed him in the London team.

"Chelsea have a fantastic team with great players. We knew they always managed to play well against strong teams. We controlled the game, but it was difficult to deal with Cole Palmer and Mikhail Mudryk. Their dribbling and ability to control the game was difficult - they were aggressive.

We had moments in the game where we couldn't complete two or three one-on-ones, but the game was tight until the end. It was a fair result. Congratulations to the team, we go into the break having qualified for the Champions League, but we will come back and continue.

They are a fantastic team. I don’t know the average number of shots on goal, but in the end both teams tried and did what they needed to do", - the BBC quoted the coach as saying.
