Guardiola acknowledged Real Madrid’s speed and described them as the best counter-attacking team in the world. He admitted that Bayern had aimed to control the match with possession but lamented their failure to score. However, Guardiola remained determined, stating, “There’s one more match left. We will try to come back. We will attack to try to come back.”
