Lead the Premier League standings with six points. They have two wins from a possible two at the start of the 2022-23 season.

Against Bournemouth, Guardiola's side attacked non-stop. "We had a great performance against a team like this, who have a very good structure defensively and also offensively because they have good patterns for the build-up to drag you into short passes and after that they link perfectly with the strikers. Quite similar movements like Tottenham tried to do. And defensively they defend so, so deep and so narrow, " commented Guardiola after the clash.

The coach felt that the start was decisive: "We started really well, we scored three goals in the first half. After that, when they don't want to attack or press, you have to be patient. On a warm day it's not easy for many reasons.

Finally, he was very positive about the result. "We make a really good peformance," concluded the Spanish coach.
