Guardiola responded to recent criticsm by Evra & Berbatov

boss Pep Guardiola has responded to recent allegations by Patrice Evra and Dimitar Berbatov that his team is not facing a personality crisis.

Evra and Berbatov, former

players who now work as pundits, criticized Guardiola after City's defeat to

. Although City had a very good chance of reaching the final, they conceded two goals against Real Madrid in the 90th and 91st minutes, and conceded a third in extra time and were eliminated. Evra had claimed that Guardiola "can’t train people with personality", and Berbatov had said that City should have played more focused in the last moments. Former AC Milan and Real Madrid midfielder Clarence Seedorf also believed that City lacked mentality at critical moments and compared them to Paris Saint-Germain, but now Pep has responded to the criticism.

He said:

"The former players like Dimitar Berbatov, Clarence Seedorf, Patrice Evra... these type of people they were there.

"I played against them and I didn't see this kind of personality when we destroyed them in the Champions League final against United."

"[They say] we don't have personality because we concede in the last minutes, and after the last two games we have personality."

Guardiola added:

"Personality is what we have done in the last five years. Maybe Liverpool is going to win all four titles or just one. Am I going to say they don't have personality or that they had a bad season?

"Of course they have and of course they are good, but sometimes in football, it happens.

"It is football, you cannot control it. When you always arrive in the latter stages, semi-finals, finals, it is incredible. This for me, because we arrive until the end, playing a lot of games, this is the most

important thing."
