Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has no doubts about his players after defeat to Leeds.

Guardiola, whose side now head to Germany for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Borussia Dortmund, says every single player at the Club has his faith – and if they didn't, they would not be selected.

“When you lose [the team selection is a mistake], when we win, I am a genius," he said afterwards.

“I do not regret [the selection] because I trust them. If I didn't trust them, they would not play.

“Everyone was good. It was a game of transitions. We had to avoid it, they did it.

“At 10 v 11, we need inspiration and we can't let them run [from deep]. We did it for a long time but then Raphinha had a chance and Eddie saved - and then they scored.

"When you attack and attack and attack, you have to control and not let them run."
