• City must beat Club Brugge next week to stand chance
• ‘If we don’t go through it’s because we don’t deserve it’

Pep Guardiola refused to wallow after Manchester City’s latest Champions League misstep, delivering home truths and accepting that if his club were to exit the competition it would be what they deserve.

City lost 4-2 against Paris Saint‑Germain at a raucous Parc des Princes, having led 2-0, and they will fall short of the playoff round if they do not win their final group tie next Wednesday at home against Club Brugge.
