Pep Guardiola was more satisfied after the celebration for the third consecutive Premier of City of Manchester, the fifth of six seasons. The Catalan coach knows what it costs to retain the title and extend the ‘citizen’s’ dominance in England, however he knows the team now faces the final of Champions (He will also play in the FA Cup) to mark City’s course on a fine Tuesday.
“Sometimes it’s not fair that you have to win the Champions League for the credit or value of what you’ve done, but you have to accept it,” he said. “I think it’s okay. I know it won’t be complete if we don’t win the Champions League,” added Guardiola, who also made sure the pressure helps his players give their best.
“Sometimes playing with this pressure is good, it’s necessary. What we did was extraordinary. Everyone knows, all the coaches, sporting directors, players and clubs know how special it is,” said Pep.
“I can’t imagine winning five (Premiers) out of six.. We don’t need decades to think how good it is, we have that feeling (now).”
City needed to win 12 games in a row to overtake Arsenal in the table, with Erling Haaland’s goalscoring records (36 goals) in the midst of his title defense.
“I actually remember winning a lot of games in a row to beat the Liverpool in the past”, added the Catalan. “It is quite similar. In the first round, Arsenal scored 50 points and I felt they did something special. It’s very demanding. I am tired. Relentless and never giving up, I said so many times: ‘You have to win now'”.
