After the game, Pep expressed his delight that the team withstood the pressure and secured their place in the FA Cup final.
"They pushed a little bit more in the second, we knew it. We lost some balls - the fatigue was there. The experience we have fell down," Guardiola told BBC Sport.
"The ball, the way it bounces, for both sides is difficult to control it. It cannot be quicker. We managed and I am really pleased to again be in the FA Cup final."
