Bernardo Silva: “We're in a bit of a dark place right now, and everything looks to be going in the wrong way. Even when we play well we don't score our chances, and we concede too easily.”

“So definitely we need to look inside to check what we're not doing well and get better very quickly otherwise it will be difficult to come back from these losses.”

“It's difficult to find reasons for what is happening right now to us. I don't remember in seven-and-a-half seasons this team losing three games in a row, and it just looks like everything is going in the wrong way right now.”

Pep Guardiola: “Now is a difficult moment in terms of results but I'm here. I want to be here! And I want to fight and not give up, I like this challenge that as a manager I have ahead of me, and who wants to follow me, follow us, they will be there!”

“I love it, I want to face it, and lift the players... I am not giving up, maybe people are waiting [for me to give up], but I am not giving up!”

“It's a big challenge, we knew that it would be a tough season from the start, we know it, we talked about that, for many reasons.”
