Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola speaks out on title race

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has issued a sarcastic title warning to his City players as they are currently leading the Premier League table with 5-points ahead of second-placed Manchester United and have a game in hand. City celebrated a 4-1 victory over Liverpool on Sunday and opened up a five-point lead at the top of the league table. "Two or three months ago we were out of everything: we didn't have any chance to be champions, to qualify for the Champions League yet now we are ready," said Guardiola. "We are ready, so maybe we shouldn’t play any more games in the Premier League because we are already champions. “I don't understand why we have to play against Tottenham and after against Everton? I don't understand it because we are already champions." The City boss then switched to a more serious tone, and added: "I understand why people are talking about it but nothing is eternal, nothing is perfect. Just because we won in the past it doesn't mean we are going to win in the future. “We have to focus on the next game. Always in my career with my teams we have thought in this way and talked in this way and this is not an exception." After the defeat on Sunday, the Reds slipped to 10-points behind City and are now 4th with 40 points. "Liverpool remains one of the best teams I’ve seen in my life and were able to make an incredible run of 68 games at home unbeaten - destroying, winning by big margins, winning in the last minutes - for three seasons without one defeat," he said. "Then immediately, you don't know why, three defeats in a row. Do you think it cannot happen with us? Of course it can happen. "It can happen in one week and you can lose three or four games immediately after an unbeaten run." source - Goal / Join us on Telegram
