Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola has come out to say that he is “overwhelmed” with the way his boys moved on from the UCL disappointment to find their way back to the top of the EPL.
Sergio Aguero netted a scrambled goal to seal a 1-0 victory at Burnley and move ahead of Liverpool with two games left.
Pep said, “It is not easy, for Liverpool as well, but, especially our defeat against Tottenham, our reaction has been outstanding, overwhelming,”
“How they have reacted with their mental strength after the problems we had and without Kevin De Bruyne, without Fernandinho, without important players, and then come here and play the way we played.
“Now we have to keep going, just two games. It is tough for Liverpool, it is tough for us, with 91, 92 points and still we are not champions but that’s what it is.”
“I didn’t know [if it was a goal] and if it’s just centimetres, maybe without technology it is not given,” Guardiola added. “There was a penalty not given but that is why I like it.
“All we have done for the past two seasons, nobody gave us anything. we won it, we did it and that’s good. [Aguero] is a legend. He does that all the time, with important goals. He’s an incredible player.”
Burnley boss said, “It’s a compliment that I heard Pep Guardiola screaming ‘get it in the corner’,”
“It’s just goes to show that even the best sides have to do it.
“I thought it was refreshing to hear a top manager scream to his players get it in the corner. I think it is sign of him wanting to win. You have to do what he wants to do to win.”
