I found Saliba and Gabriel on top of their football, and defensively, there was nothing to say.
I mean, what changed for me the second half is because of Guardiola.
He asked his players to be a little bit more forward, higher on the field, play on the counter-attack.

Yes, they were un-attacking.
They were lacking of ideas when they had the ball.
But defensively, I found Arsenal very...
Quiet, very, very okay.
I mean, sorry.
And so I wasn't bored by the fact that they weren't playing.
We know Arsenal.
Sometimes they have a hard time, you know, to kick on.
