PEP GUARDIOLA held a clear-the-air meeting with his players yesterday to try to save Manchester Citys Treble bid.
The Etihad boss was keen to park the disappointment after their devastating Champions League quarter-final exit to Tottenham which ended their hopes of winning an unprecedented Quad.
Guardiola held a light warm down session as he attempts to clear his players minds to get them mentally right to face Spurs again tomorrow.
It is yet another crunch clash in the Premier League as City look to retain their title, while Spurs are battling for a top four place.
Citys stars were back at the clubs training complex before lunchtime as they began to deal with the two VAR calls that knocked them out of Europe.
VAR ruled out Raheem Sterlings last-gasp winner as Sergio Aguero was offside, while Fernando Llorentes decisive goal was awarded after going in off his arm and hip.
MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY STUNNED
Citys players were left mentally and physically crushed after the rollercoaster defeat and their Euro exit means they missed out on bonuses of up to 1million apiece.
But they have still stumped up the cash to lay on 26 coaches for supporters to go to next months FA Cup final against Watford.
Skipper Vincent Kompany said: We still have so much to fight for this season and this is our way of saying thank you to the fans for being with us every step of the way.
Kyle Walker tweeted after the game: "Absolutely gutted. We're sorry to all the fans. We did all we could.
"Thank you for your incredible support. Well done to @SpursOfficial!"
Sterling posted on Twitter: "A heartbreaking result after all the hard work we've put in to get the qualification.
"Really hard to accept but we can still be proud of what we showed, how you guys supported us and how our hearts beat as one for this club."
