Guardiola admitted that the team was unable to play their preferred style of football due to Arsenal's strong defense.

He noted that the week's schedule was demanding, with a game in London on Sunday following a match on Thursday.

This made it challenging for the team to focus on recovery, especially against a top-level opponent like Arsenal, who are one of the best teams in Europe.

Despite this, City showed great resilience and managed to earn a point, but they were unable to capitalize on several scoring opportunities due to Arsenal's ability to quickly transition the ball and create chances.

Guardiola acknowledged that City's pressing was ineffective against Arsenal's formation, which allowed them to spread the ball and create scoring opportunities with their fast players.

He also praised the team's fans, who traveled to London for the match, saying that they deserve respect for their effort and dedication.

Guardiola remained positive overall, noting that the team had a good week despite the draw.
