But Julio Enciso's incredible long-range effort helped the Seagulls earn a point.

"The game we played, 40 hours after I think we drank all the alcohol in Manchester, showed the reason why we are the champions.

"I didn't see any drop of intensity in our idea. They had chances, we had chances.

"It's normal that we could drop points or a little bit of intensity being champion, but I didn't see it. Now, during the week, we have to rest and recover mentally," Guardiola told Sky Sports.
