Manager Guardiola joined Redknapp is criticising his beaten side.
And he claimed a repeat performance against United in the Manchester derby on Saturday will leave the with no chance.
He said: "The best team won. They were better. We didn't play well. We had a bad start and we didn't perform good.
"Today was not even close to what we are. We were not prepared to play in this competition to get to the semi-finals. We were not ready.
"If we perform this way (in the Manchester derby) we do not have a chance.
"I have the feeling today the line-up doesn't matter, the performance happens. We were not here."
