P. Guardiola: I knew we could win the Premier League as early as the start of the season

„Manchester City“ team faced an unexpected stumble of the „Manchester United“ team and became the champions of the „Premier“ league earlier than expected.

Indeed, „Man City“ coach Pep Guardiola claims that back in September he knew that they could become champions after defeating „Chelsea“ in London.

„I think the win at „Stamford Bridge“ gave us confidence that we can win. In the previous season, against other big clubs, we were not that good, we only won a few matches.

After the win there, we ourselves thought that we won against the champions, we can come here and play.

Overall, we played very steadily. Okay, Sergio Aguero is a genius, a top-level player at 30. But the other guys are 20, 21 years old, so we won with a young team.

Playing in the Champions League at their age can be challenging. Perhaps it will be a lesson for them and for the next season“, - said the coach.
