Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has admitted that the fight for the Premier League title has become more difficult, and now the team's main task is to qualify for the Champions League.
“Qualifying for the Champions League would be a big success, but you have to win games to get there. I want to get into the Champions League. It wouldn't be a good thing if City didn't get there, but I've seen what's happened to other teams in the past in the Premier League. It doesn't matter if we're fifth, sixth or seventh, you have to win games.
“Not getting into the Champions League would be a problem, but there are teams that didn't qualify, came back and got there. In sport, in knockout games, sometimes it's the little things that decide everything, but in the Premier League, in 38 games, if you can't finish in the top four or five, it means we weren't good enough,” Guardiola said.
Let us recall that Manchester City currently occupies fifth place in the Premier League standings, the team has 47 points.
