Pep Guardiola is pleased with what he saw in Split. His players performed well (0-0) away to Hajduk. “We have not had a long time to work together and we took youth players … so it was good, I’m happy. We played a serious game.” He added that the debut had served “to put some ideas forward and get some kilometres under our legs”.

Guardiola also admitted that “the second half was better than the first” and that he was “satisfied with the players that debuted”.
