As for the victory and defeat of the game, Yang Cheng felt, "We have a certain amount of luck in winning. You know, Barcelona has a very strong battle. They once took the lead in the game, which almost brought us a devastating blow, and many of our pre-match arrangements were unable to work."

"But I'm glad that my players got rid of these problems in the second half, and we learned how to win a game more intelligently, especially in today's game that we have to win!"

Guardiola also showed his demeanor. When answering questions, he highly praised Real Madrid today.

"It's a pity that we lost the game, we lost to the most powerful Real Madrid ever. They have extraordinary combat power and amazing spiritual power. If our players can play hard like Raul, Casillas, Kaka and others and try to win a game, it would be even more exciting, but unfortunately, we're not doing well enough in this regard."

But Guardiola feels that he should not be a scapegoat for the team's tactics and Cruyff's ball-handling philosophy.

"We have been pursuing our ideals for so many years, and we hope to find a balance between ideals and victory. I think we have done a great job so far, but unfortunately, we have met the strongest team ever, Real Madrid."

If the previous one has been history, represents the history of Real Madrid, then the next one has represented the entire football field. Yang Cheng politely denied Guardiola's praise.

"The current football tactics are summarized from the experiences of our countless predecessors, so I don't think we have surpassed our predecessors, because without our predecessors, there is no present, so in my mind, we will not be, nor can we be the strongest team ever."

"What's more, we still have a lot of room for improvement. I think we can do better in all aspects. I firmly believe that my players and I will continue to work hard."

At the end, when a reporter asked a question about which team Yang Cheng most hoped to meet in the Champions League knockout stage, Yang Cheng answered almost without hesitation, Chelsea!

"Murinho is a rare opponent. I admire his football very much, but I must beat him!"
