📣 Pep Guardiola on Man City's title tilt and the UCL final | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola spoke to reporters on Friday ahead of tomorrow’s meeting with Chelsea in the Premier League.

Here’s the best of what he had to say …

On what the Premier League means to City

“Always I’ve said the Premier League is the most important title. Financially for the club qualification for the Champions League is the most important. But there is no doubt what is the most important thing.

“Of course the Champions League is important, it’s nice. We have four games to get two points, one victory we’re going to try to get it.”

On the Champions League final

“There is not one thought about the final because we don’t have the Premier League in our hands. When we have the Premier League then the focus will be on the Champions League. I’m so cautious, if you don’t have it you don’t have it.

“Saying that, I could say I’m going to think about the final but nobody plays like Chelsea plays. The way we’re going to play and who we’re going to play will not be the same.

“Right now I don’t know. Everybody has to be ready. I want everyone over the next two or three weeks to be ready.”

On England’s recent Champions League dominance

“It was happening years ago with Spain and people were saying they are the best even though financially that period England was better. Now there’s a period where English teams are going far in the CL and EL we will see what happens but my feeling is the English teams are getting better and better.

I’m sure Barça, Madrid and Bayern will be there, Inter now, Juventus and Milan hopefully can join. We know that there are many, many top clubs but it’s true. Before it was Spain and now it’s England.”
