The Bavarians' boss rejected the notion his side slipped away after the hour mark to allow Juventus to snatch a draw, reminding critics of the Bianconeri's credentials as a top ...
Pep Guardiola declared himself "satisfied" despite seeing Bayern Munich surrender a two-goal lead to draw the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie with Juventus 2-2.
The German visitors dominated for the first hour in Turin, as goals from Thomas Muller and Arjen Robben either side of half-time put them in a commanding position.
However, Juventus halved the deficit through Paulo Dybala just after the hour mark before substitute Stefano Sturaro scored from close range on 76 minutes to bring the home side level.
And Guardiola praised the Italian champions for the spirit they showed in their comeback - and warned his own players that the second leg in Munich will be just as tough.
"I'm satisfied with our game, we did very well over 90 minutes and not just 60," he told reporters after the match.
"We knew that Juventus would get their chances. A win would have been better, of course, but we must not forget that Juventus are Italian champions and reached the [Champions League] final last year.
"They have good players and a great mentality. They defended in large numbers but attacked in small. We defended in small but attacked in large.
"The second leg will be as difficult."
Young midfielder Joshua Kimmich was deployed in an unconventional centre-back role and was culpable as the Bianconeri halved the deficit, but Guardiola still flew to the youngster's defence.
"Joshua was perfect. Perfect," the Catalan noted.
