Lyon defeated Manchester City 3-1 in their Champions League quarterfinal.

"It is what it is and hopefully one day we'll bridge this gap," Guardiola told BT Sport after a fourth successive failure in the Champions League with City.

"We struggled in the first 25 minutes but in the second half we felt free, we were there and I had the feeling we were better than them but you have to be perfect in this competition and we were not."

Lyon will next play Bayern Munich.
