Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was pleased with his side despite losing 2-0 at home to Liverpool.

Pep Guardiola is staying positive despite Manchester City's 2-0 loss to Liverpool on Sunday.

The defeat leaves City 20 points behind the league leaders, but the Catalan tactician is focusing on the bigger picture.

He handed starts to three players under 21 years old - Rico Lewis, Savinho, and Abdukodir Khusanov - and was impressed with their performances.

"I saw a bright future," Guardiola told the BBC.

"Other than Kevin [De Bruyne] and Nathan [Ake], they are the future of this club in the next years, with others who will come in future windows."

The legendary City boss acknowledged that Liverpool were a tough opponent, but he was pleased with his team's effort.

"It was a good game. Tight game in the first half. First half it was more open and in the second half they defended very deep.

"They always have the threat but it is not easy to control it. A big compliment to them but I am very pleased with the way we play."
