Manchester City not the best team but Chelsea are, says Pep Guardiola

By Aman Shukla

Manchester City are runaway leaders at the top of the Premier League table but coach Pep Guardiola believes the Premier League side are not the most team in the world. City defeated Brentford 2-0 on Thursday in their league match at home to get to 60 points in 24 games, extending the lead at the top of the league table to 12 points.

“We are not the best team in the world. The best team is Chelsea, who won the (European) Champions League, or River Plate, who won in South America,” Guardiola said on Thursday.

“I don’t know. The important thing is we won the game and in three days we go to Norwich (City) and have to win again.

“This type of thing about who is the best, I don’t care. Just be happy and try to play better every day. And at the end, we will see.”

Pep Guardiola’s men will take on Sporting FC in the Round of 16 of Champions League 2021-22 and the City manager said their focus is on doing well in the elite European competition.

“We are in a good position, 60 points at the moment,” Guardiola added.

“We have to qualify for the Champions League (next season) because that is the most important target and then arrive in the last few games fighting for the title. This is what I want to do.”
