City needed an 88th-minute winner from Raheem Sterling at the Etihad Stadium to extend their club record winning run to 17 matches.
By recent standards it was a flat performance from City but, having already secured a place in the last 16, Guardiola chose to focus on the result.
Guardiola said: "A win is better than not. We are going to analyse the performance - the first half we could do better - but sometimes it is difficult having won lots of games and being already qualified. We didn't have the right tension to play but that is normal.
"We are still winning and we made a fantastic goal, from Raz after an excellent pass from (Ilkay) Gundogan."

What time does it start?
The game kicks off at 7.45pm on Tuesday 21 November.
Where can I watch it?
The game will be broadcast on BT Sport/ESPN.
It’s a big game for…
Bernardo Silva. The winger has yet to establish himself in City's first team but has been promised a starting role against Feyenoord and has the opportunity to force himself into Guardiola's reckoning for what is a packed fixture list heading into the Chrismas period.

Remember when…
City visited Feyenoord in September? The Manchester club racked up three goals within 25 minutes and ran out comfortable 4-0 winners.
Player to watch...
Steven Berghuis. The winger spent last season on loan at Feyenoord from Watford, scoring eight goals, and already has seven this season after making the move permanent in the summer.

Reaction from Manchester City match-winner Raheem Sterling
The England winger earned all three points for City with his 88th-minute strike against Feyenoord.
"They kept really solid, we were slow on the ball. They dug in deep and stayed in the game as long as possible.
"It's always good to score but it's more important to win, even if it's ugly sometimes."

Post-match reaction from Jurgen Klopp
His analysis of the match: "It was a very good first half, a not very good second half. We stopped playing football in the second half and let them come back in the game. When you're the winning team, you should avoid this. We have one real weapon and that's playing football and we didn't do that in the second half. "
On whether his players were complacent after half-time: "I think it was OK that we were confident after the first half. They had the free-kick and then they had the penalty. It's obvious what we did. The real problem is that we stopped playing football. 3-0 is a wonderful score, there was nothing bad to say at half-time. Our main mistake was that we didn't play football anymore, we got passive and were a little bit too deep. They fought back. Big credit to them but we had to do differently."
On how Sevilla's first goal changed the match and the atmosphere at the stadium: "The atmosphere would've been the same at Anfield (after the first goal of the comeback). It feels like we lost but we didn't lose. At the moment it feels really bad."
