Last day of the Premier League: What was said?
Guardiola is preparing his City players for another heartbreaking end to the title race.
He said: “If you ask all the Premier League teams at the start of the season, what would be the best position for the last game of the season, we are in the best position. That's for sure.”
“There is one game left, destiny is in our hands, we need to win a game to be champions. Everyone would love to be in our position.
“But it won't be easy. It's win or win, otherwise Arsenal will be champions. It's not more complicated than that.
“I have a feeling it will be an Aston Villa game. We would love to be 3-0 up after 10 minutes but that's not going to happen.
“We've seen enough West Ham games (to know) that they have some things that we need to keep an eye on.
“They will be ready to beat us. That happened with Aston Villa, they didn't play for nothing, in the same position, two years ago.
“I know what happened, the same thing is going to happen. We and our people have to come here to be prepared from the first minute, to do it together.”
