Pep Guardiola knows that the race for titles will be decided by thin margins.
What did Pep Guardiola say?
The Man City manager knows what his side must do to deny Liverpool a historic sweep of all four major trophies this season. Wednesday’s 3-0 victory over Brighton brought the Nationals back to the PL summit 24 hours after Klopp’s men pushed forward after their Man Utd rumble. And the Spanish manager knows his side must continue like this until the end of the league season to conjure the crown and ruin the Reds’ quad dreams.
After Man City won Europe’s most prestigious club competition on Wednesday, Pep Guardiola said the feeling today is that they are now mathematically going to play in the Champions League. According to Guardiola, people may say that this is normal, but it is not. You just have to look at the incredible teams fighting for the Champions League. Now for PL they are not stupid.
If they drop by just two points, Liverpool will be champions. If they win all the games, they will become champions. The players know this. The Spaniard says they know what tough games they have and they should try to play like today and win all the games. If they do, they will celebrate, if they don’t congratulate Liverpool.
A little about the topic
Manchester City’s interest in two FA cup competitions has already ended, after falling to West Ham United in the Carabao Cup and the Reds in Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final. But Guardiola’s men are still on the run in the PL and Champions League, holding a tiny lead over Liverpool in the former. With six games left Manchester City are one point ahead, while if the season ends in a tie Liverpool have the edge at the moment due to their superior goal difference.
The two frontmen could also meet in the Champions League final if they won their respective seven; Liverpool meanwhile, already crowned Carabao Cup champions and awaiting Chelsea in the FA Cup final, could be the first team in history to complete a quad with a strong finish for 2021-22.
