Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has rated his own performance this season as "really poor".

City have endured a disappointing campaign by their lofty standards, having failed to mount a strong defence of their Premier League title and crashed out of the Champions League before the last 16.

A number of factors have contributed to City's underwhelming return, including injuries to key players, most notably long-term absentee Rodri.

Asked how he viewed his work, the Spaniard said: "This season? Really poor.

"The opponents never gave us a red carpet to win the titles that we won in the past. My duty was to overcome the situation much better than I have done.

"A few details are the reason why it happened and hopefully this will not happen next season. This is important."
