Man City 'did absolutely everything' to beat Boro - Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola dismissed the notion of his side suffering a Barcelona hangover after drawing 1-1 with Middlesbrough.

Pep Guardiola was satisfied that Manchester City "did absolutely everything" necessary to beat Middlesbrough, despite their profligacy being punished by a 1-1 draw.

Sergio Aguero's 150th City goal looked set to be enough for the hosts, who defeated Barcelona 3-1 on Tuesday, but Marten de Roon's stunning stoppage-time equaliser earned a point for Aitor Karanka's side.

City rained 25 shots on the goal of Victor Valdes, who performed superbly to keep Boro in the game before De Roon struck.
