Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, can reaffirm his title of Premier champion this Saturday if Arsenal lose at home to Nottingham Forest. The ‘citizens’ are looking to repeat Manchester United’s historic 1998-99 treble (Champions, Premier, FA Cup).
Guardiola He said this Friday in a press conference: “The Premier League is the most important competition because it lasts 10, 11 months. We are lucky to be at home with our people to win it.” Whatever Arsenal do, if City beat Chelsea on Sunday at the Etihad they will sing alirón. The group of Guardiola will play Inter in the Champions League final on June 10 in Istanbul after eliminating Real Madrid 4-0 on Wednesday (1-1 in the first leg).
“The last match is the most hard, because there are many emotions. We wouldn’t forgive ourselves if we got distracted,” he said. Guardiola, which ensures if he sees the Nottingham Forest-Arsenal:
“I don’t think so. We have a game tomorrow. In my mind, I’d like to think we have to beat Chelsea to be champions. To celebrate with our people in the stadium would be the best.”
Manchester City can win the Premier on Saturday or Sunday, the Champions League on June 10 and the FA Cup on the 3rd of that month if they beat Manchester United, their city rivals, in the final at Wembley.
Asked if his team has calmed down since Wednesday, Guardiola said: “Calm down? It’s non-stop, the most difficult thing. But we have Sunday’s game in hand.”
While City have won 11 consecutive games in the Premier League and unbeaten at the Etihad for 19 straight since November, Pep Guardiola said “despite the emotions, we will not be distracted, we will not forgive ourselves, we have to concentrate to finish well”.
Guardiola was asked about a video showing the midfielder Kevin De Bruyne yells “Shut up!” during Wednesday’s game. Pep returned to the City bench looking puzzled after the change. “I love the action with Kevin, we yell at each other. I like it. Sometimes a bit flat, I like this energy,” Guardiola said. “It’s not the first time, you can’t see, but he yelled at me in training.

City will lose in the Premier against Brighton on Wednesday and against Brentford on 28 September May.
