City took a quick-fire 2-0 lead in Tuesday's game through Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus, but Amadou Diawara's penalty made for a nervy finale. "I think it was an extraordinary game from both sides. We faced one of the best sides I faced in my career, probably the best," said Guardiola. "It is one of the wins I am most proud of in my career. We won against an incredible team. To do that you have to do an incredible performance."
However, when asked if City's tactics had invited pressure from Napoli, Guardiola said the solution was not less passing out from the back, but more. "We have to do it more," said Guardiola, whose team are now three points clear of Shakhtar Donetsk at the top of Group 'F'. "You play long balls against that team, in two seconds they are attacking. In football, how fast the ball goes, how fast it comes back."
