Manchester City was eliminated from the Club World Cup after losing 4-3 to Al-Hilal in a match that saw many missed opportunities for City. Guardiola emphasized the need for clinical finishing, acknowledging that his team created chances but failed to convert. Rodri suffered an injury set-back during the game, exacerbating City's situation as he was just returning from a knee injury. The match saw several lead changes and ended with a late winner from Marcus Leonardo. Guardiola reflected on the journey and expressed a desire for the team to rest and regroup for the upcoming season.
In the end we have to score and be clinical. They did not create much in the first half, we did but could not finish it.
Rodri... complained about his situation. He entered as a 53-minute replacement but was forced off in the 100th.
We would have loved to have continued, it is only here every four years. We had a feeling that the team is doing well.
It is too early to say, but there have been so many good things I did not see [recently].
