"3-0 against Brentford, 3-0 against Crystal Palace – and they play a very tough game. I am extremely pleased. We are trying to keep our chances alive until the next match. However, our focus is now on the FA Cup final," stated the Spanish tactician.

"We played very, very well. I know they are excellent on the counter-attack and from set-pieces. It's difficult against them because they defend with a low block. But we achieved our goal thanks to our patience. We managed the game exactly as we needed to," Guardiola added.

He emphasized that his team is solely focused on their own performance, without paying attention to the results of league leaders Arsenal.

"We haven't discussed what happened in the last match involving our title rivals. We just do what we have to do. I've been through this many times in the Premier League, at Barcelona, and at Bayern," Pep said.

"Of course, we want to have a chance if we win on the final day. Unfortunately, it's not in our hands for a multitude of reasons. To win the remaining games and clinch the title, we need to play much, much better," concluded the Manchester City manager.
