Pep Guardiola has spoken on his club’s performance this season which he compared to last season.
The manager highlighted the moment he knew Manchester City has won the Premier League title in 2017/18.
Manchester City hit the 100-point mark as they won the league in record-breaking style last season.
Pep Guardiola his team has improved better than last season despite in a tight title race with Liverpool this season.
In his words: “In little details we are better than last season, which is normal because we have more time together,” while speaking to Sky Sports.
When Sky Sports asked him how the club has improved this season, Guardiola said: “Our process, our build-ups, our high pressing we can use different movements, we have more alternatives to defend into attack and we are more solid when we defend deeper.”
Manchester City missed the chance to win the title a week earlier after blowing a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 at home to United – a result that was sandwiched between their two-legged Champions League quarter-final loss to Liverpool.
Guardiola was not also ashamed to acknowledge that the United defeat was “disappointing”, he further stretched that the way his side responded, winning 3-1 at Tottenham, made him relax that they would win the Premier League title.
In his words: “Even in games when you are winning 2-0 or 3-0 with 20 minutes left to play I am still not comfortable in saying it’s already done,”.
“But in that game, the way we reacted after a tough week with a Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool in the middle and then United, the way we played the first 10-15 minutes in that game, said to me that we are going to win the Premier League.”
