Tielemans acknowledged that the team had fought hard, but ultimately fell short. He said, "It's frustrating to lose in the final minutes of the game when we had given it our all. We blocked almost every attack, but unfortunately, they scored on the last action, and we didn't.

Tielemans noted that the team had a good chance to score first, but Manchester City capitalized on their last opportunity. He stated, "That's the way football goes sometimes - you get the first chance, and they get the last one."

The defeat has set back Aston Villa's top-four aspirations, but Tielemans remains optimistic. He said, "We have four Premier League games left, and we'll give it our all to get a good result. Hopefully, we can get back into the Champions League positions."

Tielemans emphasized the importance of analyzing their performance and identifying areas for improvement. He also highlighted the upcoming FA Cup semi-final on Saturday, which the team is focused on winning. "We'll have a tough night, but then we'll focus on the semi-final," he said.
