Pep Guardiola reveals his regret at not scoring an away goal during the first leg of Barcelona's quarter-final with AC Milan.

Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola has admitted that his side may regret not scoring an away goal against AC Milan in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

Despite controlling most of the match, the Catalan giants failed to breach the Milan defence and the Italians will head to the Nou Camp in a positive position after the goalless draw.

Guardiola said: "We knew Milan's quality and not scoring in the away leg is a bit damaging for us."

The Spaniard was also disappointed with the playing surface in Milan.

"It is always a pleasure to play at San Siro. It's just a shame that this pitch is not suited to a football match. Inter and Milan both deserve a better playing surface," Guardiola added.

Defender Carles Puyol was critical of the referee following the match.
