Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, has recently spoken out about the immense pressure and expectations placed on his team. Guardiola pointed out that Manchester City is often seen as the main favourite and a candidate to win every competition they enter.
Guardiola reflected on past performances, noting that even reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) is viewed as a disaster if they fail to progress further. He emphasized the disparity in expectations between his squad and other teams, suggesting that what is demanded of Manchester City is not equally expected from their rivals.
According to Guardiola, there is a significant difference in the level of scrutiny and demands placed on Manchester City compared to other clubs. This statement comes amidst the backdrop of City’s consistent high performance and ambition under his management. Guardiola has been at the helm of Manchester City, steering the team to numerous domestic and international successes.
