JAKARTA - Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, called the celebration of the Premier League title this season the best for him in the last five years. The reason is, the celebration party for the champion this time was carried out in front of their own supporters who packed the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City continue their winning trend on the domestic scene. The Citizens won their fourth English Premier League in the last five years after a 3-2 win over Aston Villa on Sunday, May 22.
"The first 100 points (2017/2018 season), the second at Brighton (last day of the 2018/2019 season), the third without spectators and this one with the crowd, really the best," said Guardiola.
He then paid tribute to his players. The Spanish manager did not hesitate to call his players as club legends.
"Four Premier League, these guys have become legends; people have to admit it. This group of players is truly eternal at this club because what we achieved was very difficult," he said.
The former Barcelona coach then thanked Real Madrid for eliminating them from the Champions League. He said he had learned a valuable lesson from the failure.
Guardiola said winning the Premier League title after failing in the Champions League would help City become stronger next season.
"Maybe we need a little more time, but every second that passes after this Premier League, we realize that four league titles in five years in this country is probably the best achievement we have done in our careers. This is incredible," said Guardiola. .
