After sustained pressure by Carlsen, the game ended with a blunder 34...h5. You can't win if your opponent doesn't make mistakes, Magnus said in the post-game press conference.
Carlsen also talked about a capture that may seem counter-intuitive at first glance, 29. bxa4. "I have such a nice construction on the e-file. It felt more natural to me to take with the pawn."
