Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has showered praise on Manuel Akanji and Rodri after their commendable performance in the 1-1 draw against Liverpool on Saturday.
The first half saw Erling Haaland netting a 27th-minute goal to put the reigning Premier League champions in the lead.
City appeared poised to secure their 24th consecutive home win across all competitions, but a late equalizer from Trent Alexander-Arnold meant the points were split between the two top-tier teams.
Guardiola commented, βTo concede just two chances against that team.
βThe way we made the build-up, the way that Manuel Akanji and Rodri played in those ridiculous spaces, it was really, really good. How we defended the set pieces, everything was a really high standard.
βIt was really good. They are happy, we are little less happy. This is football. I am really pleased. So proud of my team,β Guardiola expressed.
