Guardiola calls qualifying for the Champions League a success for Manchester City
In recent seasons, we've become accustomed to Manchester City competing for the top spots. However, in this campaign, the "Citizens" have practically relinquished their championship credentials, and Pep Guardiola is aware of a completely different reality.
Details: The Manchester City head coach stated that the main goal for the team will be to qualify for the Champions League. The position doesn't matter as much.
Quote: "Qualifying for the Champions League would be a great success, but to do that, you need to win it. I want to get into the Champions League. It won't be very good if City misses the spot, but I've seen what happened to other teams in the past in the Premier League. It doesn't matter if it's fifth, sixth, or seventh place, you need to win matches.
Missing out on the Champions League would be a problem, but there are teams that didn't qualify, came back, and made it. In sports, in knockout games, sometimes details decide everything, but in the Premier League, over 38 games, if you can't finish in the top four or five, it means we weren't good enough," said Guardiola.
Reminder: It was previously reported that Guardiola secretly flew to Barcelona to reconcile with his wife after their divorce.
