Guardiola: I didn’t think we were really good

Pep Guardiola believes his Manchester City side were not that good despite a 5-1 thumping over Wolves. 

Arsenal’s victory over Bournemouth hours before extended the Gunners’ lead at the top of the table to four points but Pep Guardiola’s team – who still have a game in hand – were seemingly unfazed. 

Erling Haaland produced an individual masterclass, scoring four goals, with Julian Alvarez adding the gloss late on as City closed the gap on Arsenal. 

Despite dominating the game, Guardiola felt his side did not perform particularly well, especially in the first half. 

“I didn’t have the feeling we were really good. Especially in the first half, we lost a lot of simple balls. 

“But against teams with high pressing we can counter attack – always we are a dangerous team. 

“There’s just one week left – one week, three games. Nine points, we will be champions. Seven points, six points, three points – Arsenal will be champions.”
