Post-Match Verdict 📺

Pep Guardiola on the victory at Chelsea 👇

“I didn't expect it. We are away from our best so three points is the good news. The bad news is we have 65 games ahead of us.

“We have an advantage, it's our ninth season together so we know each other well. Of course there are mistakes you have to improve but we talked, the difference in being champions was our body language, how did we behave?

“It's the bad moments in the season and in the games that define the big teams. For me, it is an honour to be in charge of these guys. I'm so fortunate, I could not say more.”

Post-Match Verdict 📺

Erling Haaland on why he waited so long with his goal 👇

“I don't know if you remember last year, Sanchez had a great save on me, because he always stays a lot on the line, that’s why I took a few extra touches.

“Then he’s rushing out and I knew exactly what to do. I think it was a really good goal.

“I remember his save for the last year, it’s been irritating me for a long time.

“So that’s why I took a couple of extra touches. It was a perfect goal. It was a nice goal.”

Post-Match Verdict 📺

Erling Haaland on the win at Chelsea 👇

“Three points and a perfect start.

“First game is always hard for everyone, it doesn’t matter if you have a pre-season or not.

“I actually had a long pre-season so that’s good.

“I don’t actually feel perfect because I’m not in the perfect shape, but yeah it’s good to start and to win.”
