Guardiola thinks City can prove something

Pep Guardiola believes Manchester City still has a point to prove when they welcome Liverpool to the Etihad Stadium on Thursday (July 2) despite losing the Premier League title the previous week after a 1-2 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

“In sport you have to prove every time,” Guardiola said at a pre-match press conference on Wednesday.

“We are incredibly satisfied with what we are doing. But for athletes it is never enough. Past is the past. We mention in our soul, our memories, but the show must go on. Some people will say I don’t have to show anything. I am completely the opposite. Every time you have to do it again.”

Liverpool who lost the Premier League to Man City by one point last season currently lead City by 23 points with seven games remaining, and on course to probably break city’s 100 points record from 2018.

Guardiola looked ahead:

“I think we are not far away but you have to do a little bit more,” he added.

“They are a team that was better, who play at an outstanding level in every single game and we have to do more.

“Football helps you to understand an incredible education that another one was better and you have to try to reduce this gap.”
