"There were six players around him," Guardiola said. "Six. Three behind, three in front. That's how they kept him out of the game. That makes it difficult for any player."
"We tried to use the spaces, that's why [Ilkay] Gundogan had a couple of chances but Inter were stronger than us physically. We needed to get more players up alongside Erling."
"I knew that Inter would defend like that," Guardiola added, highlighting the team's strategy against Haaland. This indicates the forethought and tactical preparation involved in the match.
