Pep Guardiola, conclusions after City

City moved to 3 points behind Arsenal with a game in hand. The Gunners are top of the Premier League with 70 points from 33 games and have impressed Pep with their performance at the Etihad.

Pep Guardiola, after City's victory: “Arsenal, one of the best teams I have met in my career”

“I'm happy because we can extend the hope. Maybe it will last until the end, we'll try. People have told me that Arsenal's morale is low. What we saw today was not low morale.

They are in the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they have not lost a single game. The dynamic changes in an instant.

Of course we want to win, because we fought a lot today. Some players who had not played much in the Premier League felt the pressure, in some places it was not at the maximum level,” said Guardiola, on Sky Sports.

It's a good advertisement for the Premier League. They don't let you play your game, they are so aggressive, good at duels, one of the best teams I have come across in my career in terms of duels, one-on-one situations, long balls.

Pep Guardiola: “There is only one reality: they are in first place in the championship”

“Rice is fantastic on the second ball. They didn't let us play our game. We had new moments of control, they had moments of control. We had new opportunities, they had opportunities. In the end, it's all about the little details.

Two teams with top managers. And top level players on both sides. But now they play every three days, it's very demanding.

But the reality is only one: they are in first place in the championship. A goal lead on goal difference. We must enjoy the victory, celebrate, take the good things. But let's not lose focus. In three days we go to Burnley”, Guardiola also declared.
