We played good guardiola defends players despite manchester derby defeat

You're referring to Pep Guardiola's post-match comments after Manchester City's 2-0 defeat to Manchester United in the Manchester Derby!

Yes, Guardiola did indeed defend his players, saying that they gave their all and didn't deserve to lose. He also praised their performance, stating that they created more chances than United and had the better of the game.

Here's a quote from his post-match interview:

"I think we played really well. We created more chances than them, we had more possession, we were better in the first half. We didn't deserve to lose. We gave everything, we fought, we tried to win the game. Sometimes it doesn't happen, but I'm proud of my players."

Guardiola's comments were likely aimed at deflecting criticism from the media and fans, and to boost the morale of his players after a tough defeat. By praising their performance, he's trying to remind them that they're a good team and that this result is an anomaly.

What do you think about Guardiola's comments? Do you agree with him that City deserved more from the game?
