Guardiola mentioned that the team played at a high level in the FA Cup final. However, their disappointment was not being able to perform well in the Champions League. He found it difficult to accept this.

Guardiola's focus is not on winning the Club World Cup. Instead, he wants to extend the team's stay at Manchester City. He views the competition differently for teams from South America and Europe. For South American teams, this may be their best achievement. For European teams, it is a significant tournament.

Manchester City will face Al Ain on Sunday in their second group match.
