Pep Guardiola Defends His Decision To Not Make Any Substitutions During 1-1 Draw With RB Leipzig | Soccer/Soccer

Pep Guardiola has defended his decision to not make any changes during Man City's draw with RB Leipzig in the Champions League.

The Premier League champions were held to a 1-1 draw with the Bundesliga side after Josko Gvardiol canceled out Riyad Mahrez's first-half strike for the visitors.

A plethora of Man City's stars - including Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez - watched from the bench as Guardiola opted against a substitution and the coach later explained his reasoning for doing so.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Guardiola said: 'I have the opportunity to have five substitutions, I am the manager I apply and take it if I want.

'It doesn't mean if I have the substitutions I have to do the substitutions. I'm a so good manager to decide what I have to do or not.'

The Spanish manager hinted that he was close to bringing England star Foden into the match after Gvardiol's second-half equalizer but opted against doing so.

He explained: 'I was really pleased with what I was seeing. With Phil to have this talent to do this, after the goal I thought immediately to bring Phil but we took the game in our hands.'
