Tottenham boss Thomas Frank 👇
“Very delighted. Extremely proud of the players. It was an exceptional performance.
“We know it's always difficult to play against City here at the Etihad.
“The first 35 minutes, City were on top. Then we had a big mentality shift in terms of staying in the game and we scored the goal and changed the momentum.
“Second half we were very good. We were front footed with our mindset.
“The clean sheet makes me very happy, it's a big thing we've been working on.”
Ruben Dias 👇
“Spurs are a team who can be very dangerous, they started the game very well.
“We didn't react the best way in sticking to our game.
“The second goal is unfortunate, it cannot happen.
“We chased but there was a lot of things to do better.
“Not everything was good in our first game and not everything is bad now so we have to get back to work.
“Frustrating, we want to win even more at home in front of our fans in our first home game. It is what it is, it's football we look forward.”
Pep Guardiola 👇
On the result...
“We started well but conceded and it can happen. Individually the simple things with the ball we miss. They scored the second.
“We had chances. The result is not good but there’s a long way.”
On Ait Nouri injury...
“I don’t know. I didn’t speak with the doctors yet.”
“It was a different test today.
“Thomas Frank set up his team fantastically well.
“But it’s a marathon not a sprint.”

City are beaten 2-0 by Tottenham in our opening home game of the 2025/26 campaign.
Looking to build momentum after a wonderful win against Wolves at Molineux, there were no home comforts for Pep Guardiola’s men as first half goals from Brennan Johnson and João Palhinha did the damage at the Etihad.
