Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, spoke out after the team’s victory over Crystal Palace, narrowing the point gap to Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola, manager of the "Citizens" Manchester City, admitted that the Premier League title this season still belongs to Arsenal, even though his team beat Crystal Palace 3-0 at home, closing the gap to just 2 points. He also praised Phil Foden as the key to securing this important three points.
Guardiola said, "It depends on them (Arsenal). If they win both remaining games, there’s nothing we can do. There’s nothing to say. We just have to stay there and wait for our chance. The last two games will be very tough."
On the overall recent match: "We had to work hard, but Palace worked harder. We played better, but they are a tough team to break down because of their strong defense."
"In matches like this, they defend deep. It depends on the talent of wingers like Phil Foden. For example, the first goal — in games like this, quality makes the difference, and Phil has that quality in abundance. I am very happy and satisfied."
"We know Phil’s quality. I admire him a lot. He’s an incredible runner and fighter up front. Sergi also has incredible quality when coming on as a substitute and can make an impact. Kovacic as well."
