Speaking to BT Sport after Wednesday's match, Guardiola said when asked if he had been punished for his own mistakes, he said: "On that level it’s hard but until the 10 against 11 [when Claudio Bravo was sent off] the game was open.
"We were competing against a very good team with huge personality," he added.
Though he felt the team played well, Bravo's sending off was the catalyst he thought.
He said: "We created enough chances to score goals, and after that [Bravo's sending off] the game was over."
Guardiola said City had made other fatal errors in their last four games, but praised their attitude.
"Every game since Glasgow [where they drew 3-3 against Celtic] something like that has happened: missed penalties, own goals, that kind of thing - we have to change the dynamic."
He added: "But when I ask me team to play with personality, we did it."
