City's win over Leicester brings 'relief,' not joy - Pep Guardiola

Pep Guardiola Pep Guardiola

Pep Guardiola acknowledged Manchester City's 2-0 win over Leicester as "relief" rather than enjoyment, reflecting on the club's difficult season.

Despite snapping a five-game winless streak, Guardiola admitted that City are "far away from winning the Premier League" and have "no chance" of claiming a fifth consecutive title. He emphasized that his team struggles to maintain aggression for 90 minutes, stating, "We can’t sustain for 90 minutes, today we proved that again."

Guardiola pointed to City's mental struggles following a heavy loss to Manchester United and subsequent tough fixtures. He concluded, "We have other things to fight for," including the FA Cup and a top-four finish, and praised his players' fight, even though they were outplayed in the second half.
