Guardiola says he needs his team to experience testing Champions League matches and that is certainly what they got from the admirable French side
Pep Guardiola has said his Manchester City side might need to suffer if they are to make the leap and win the Champions League, and in that sense Lyon have done the Premier League champions a huge favour twice this season.
They have made Guardiola's men suffer for 180 minutes, recording a win and a draw that has ultimately not jeopardised City's chances of reaching the knock-out phases, but which will give the Blues plenty to ponder as they progress in the competition.
