Akanji said that the team gave their best effort, trying to score a goal and create chances. However, their shots on goal did not go in. He explained that City had some good opportunities, but the Southampton goalkeeper and defenders made some crucial blocks and saves.

Akanji acknowledged that the team cannot rely on a single moment in the game to win. They need to manage the game and wait for their opponents to tire. According to him, the second half was easier for City than the first half.

Akanji praised Southampton for their performance, saying they gave everything to win the game. He also noted that it might be one of their last Premier League matches, and they wanted to show their fans they still have a lot to offer.

Akanji remains optimistic about City's chances of finishing in the top five and qualifying for the Champions League. He believes that with a win in their next game against Bournemouth, their position in the table might change. However, for now, the team's focus is on the upcoming FA Cup final.
