KDB. #OnThisDay in 2018. 🚀

Eight years ago today, @leroy_sane was named @PFA Young Player of the Season! 🇩🇪⚡️

@City_Xtra @BurnleyOfficial Why don't we wear the away kit much?

𝗜𝗧'𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛𝗗𝗔𝗬!!! 🏆 Premier League 🏟️ Turf Moor 🆚 @BurnleyOfficial ⏰ 20:00 KO UK 📺 Sky Sports

Nico: “If you said at the beginning of the season, we had chance to be 1st with five games left, we would’ve all signed it. It’s amazing – we can see it’s close, but we have to focus on Burnley. We will see what happens and take it game by game. “We are really happy about the job we are doing. It is 50/50. It’s going to be a nice race until the end. I really trust my team and I’m happy we are in this position…” [via @ManCity]

Pep Guardiola: "[Are] Arsenal or #ManCity not as good as in the past, or is it because the middle class or lower teams rise unbelievably and make it more difficult. They are the challenges to be there. "I see Aston Villa, I see Brentford, I see Sunderland, I see all these kinds of teams, they are extraordinary, really extraordinary, and difficult to beat. That's why every time I had a feeling it's more difficult!" [via @HaytersTV]

Pep Guardiola on multiple Premier League clubs still competing for European football: “I think it's one of the good things in the last decade, 15 years. Before it was maybe 10 games left, just one team goes to the #UCL, one in the Europa [League], 10 or 11 players don’t play for anything. "Now that's good because being in the Champions League, Europa League, Conference, don’t be relegated, always you play for good things and that makes the competition alive until the end. That's a really, really good decision from UEFA or the guys who decided to do it. Really good..." [via @HaytersTV]

Pep Guardiola: "If you tell me, ‘If you play seven strikers you're going to score 20 goals.’ OK, I'm going to play with seven strikers, but that doesn't work. "We have to defend well all the throw-ins, set pieces, and after attack well, defend well, all the things we're working on or talking about. That's what we have to do. "After, maybe, we are able - for our game, it’s fluid, it's nice, in the momentum - to score lots of goals..." [via @HaytersTV]

Pep Guardiola on whether the number of goals being scored are now important: “Yes, absolutely. It can happen, but [you] cannot be distracted by scoring a lot of goals. It would be unbalanced, and without balance we’re going to concede a lot. It's the same question. "I have the feeling the opponents are going to score a lot, I'd say. The rivals are really, really good defensively when we talk mainly about the next opponent. So we have to try to go there [Turf Moor], do what you have to do to win. It's the same thing [as] before Arsenal: What is the game plan, what do you have to do to play? Not the consequences..." [via @HaytersTV]

Pep Guardiola: "At the end, I'm really pleased [with #ManCity's players] if [Kai] Havertz missed or Havertz had scored. It was good, I'm happy, I’m better because we're closer. We won three points, they [Arsenal] lost three points. "But at the end, in these stages, I'll put an example: In the #UCL final we won in Istanbul. Last moment, [Romelu] Lukaku header is two metres [from goal], even closer than Havertz last game. Ederson saved and we won the Champions League. If we go to extra-time maybe we'll be disappointed, maybe we don't win the Champions League. "I see the spirit, how they train, how they behave. It's one of the best groups of players and spirit I've ever seen in my career. That makes me so proud, so happy that we revived a little bit with many, many good players, a good sense of togetherness..." [via @HaytersTV]

Pep Guardiola on @MarcGuehi13 x Abdukodir Khusanov: “Extraordinary. Like Nathan [Ake] when he played the Carabao Cup final, one of the best players on the pitch. Jonny's [Stones] coming back. Unfortunately Josko [Gvardiol] and Ruben [Dias] have been injured. "But of course, in the last games Marc and Khusa… When I said the team, the future will be bright, because I see young, young players, grew up a lot this season and will be for the next year, many, many years there and that is really good for us..." [via @HaytersTV]

Part two of Pep Guardiola's pre-Burnley press conference. 🤝 @HaytersTV youtu.be/0RIofhhhW40?si…

Pep Guardiola on @rayan_cherki: “What a goal, right? But I like to push him. He was extraordinary. What I like most is the difficulties, 1-0, 0-0, down, always he makes a step forward. But sometimes when we're 2-0, 3-0, he's not involved anymore. "He makes an incredible goal, but after - maybe for the way we play - we didn't find him much. And I want him more, and that action he's done, I want five of them! Not [always] finishing with a goal, but more actions to pass, and it didn't happen. And sometimes in the last games, he is... not disappeared, but he's not… He has the biggest attribute when it’s 0-0, going down, we found him more. But I think it's part of the process. "How old is he? So young! As much as you want to learn or this sense of being incredibly competitive, he’ll become a top player because the goal he has scored is Rayan Cherki. This cannot be taught, it's just his amazing talent..." [via @HaytersTV]

Pep Guardiola when asked about Arsenal winning the 1988/89 First Division title on Goals Scored: “I was SO young. No, no, I don’t remember. What happened? [Arsenal] Scored one goal, and won the… So Arsenal won? So relax this season!” [via @HaytersTV]

Pep Guardiola on whether he has to calm #ManCity's players: “They see me. My face speaks for itself perfectly. I don't need sometimes to talk when they see my eyes in my face. They know it, and they know me, quite good..." [via @HaytersTV]

Pep Guardiola on whether he is 'nervous': “Absolutely opposite! Nervous last season. Pressure last season. I could bring the team not in the #UCL. Now we're more relaxed than ever, even before [beating] Arsenal! "The feeling [is] we've done a really, really good season. Now is the moment to enjoy more than ever. Every game the message is so clear. Not even a message, they know! "Last season, Fulham away, the night before was tough. Qualifying for the Champions League is so important for #ManCity. Now we've done it; we have the Carabao Cup, [FA Cup] semi-final against Southampton, and try to win the Premier League. That’s really, really good. That's why I'm a manager, to live this..." [via @HaytersTV]

Pep Guardiola: "When I'm on the sideline and see Arsenal, I give incredible credit that we're there. It's a top team, a contender to win the #UCL, top of the league. You have to sweat, sweat, fight a lot to beat them - they have everything! "They're so, so competitive, mentality, many, many good things they do really well. When they play short, they play well. When they play long, they win the long ball, second ball. Set-pieces, it’s a nightmare. "That’s why I give a lot of credit to compete with them, against them, and the last two times beat them. I give a lot of credit to these players, a lot. They know it, they feel it!" [via @HaytersTV]

🚨 OFFICIAL: Kylian Mbappé MOTM.

Pep Guardiola on #ManCity's celebrations after beating Arsenal: "People can say whatever, stupid things. We know the value of the opponent, we know if we don't win, we are bye bye! If we win, still we are there. How can we not celebrate it?! "As much as you respect the opponent, fans of the opponent, celebrate whatever you want. I have to wait until the end of the season to celebrate?! Come on. Every single game, go to our fans and enjoy. What sense? You have to celebrate just once if you win, and if you don't win you have to cry all the time? Come on. "Everybody knew that game was a final, especially for us. For them, not much, but for us it was a final. Of course you have to celebrate it!” [via @HaytersTV]

Pep Guardiola on @VincentKompany's career since Burnley: “Well, I'd say not bad at all. Congratulations, of course, Vinny and Bayern Munich; a place I was, I have a lot of friends. Again they show high, high quality and entertaining football, with a lot of goals and actions. I know people are so happy in Munich, they won again the Bundesliga. "Just a huge congratulations for the whole organisation from Bayern because it's extraordinary. Really, really extraordinary club, well-managed on the sidelines, the board, all the people, to the fans. And now, ready for the #UCL semi-finals. I wish him all the best..." [via @HaytersTV]
