“Erling has gone back to doing what he knows how to do. On penalties he is a guarantee, but the other two goals were incredible,” Guardiola said after the game. And he continued: “I don’t think we can tie in the game we have pending because Arsenal has a more important goal difference than ours. They have been playing in a good and consistent way. We have three games left, I hope we win the first and the second and that we reach the third with our destiny in our own hands“.
