Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola defended his lineup selection and tactics after 1-0 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday in the Champions League final.
The Spaniard said he did what he thought was right by cramming his team with creative forces.
“I did what I thought was the best decision [on his team selection],” Guardiola said to BT Sport.
“Kevin de Bruyne got injured but that happens in this competition and in these games. We needed everyone.
“The ambition now is to rest but then prepare for the next season. It was the first time we were at this stage. Hopefully we will be here again in the future.
“It has been an exceptional season for us. It was a tight game. We had chances. We were brilliant in the second half, we were brave and we could not convert the chances as they were so strong. The players were exceptional. We come back maybe one day again!”
