Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola rates winning the Premier League alongside victory in the Champions League.
City are regarded as favourites for the Premier League now after their midweek win against Arsenal.
Guardiola said, “The Premier League is so nice, so attractive. Being champion again is a similar level to winning the Champions League. People ask: why? Because it’s every week for 10 months against everyone.
“In periods it has been flat [this season]. It’s like a routine, “ah, another game, another game” like in September when you have a lot of time [left]. When this happens it is the worst.
“When you have a team alive, so hungry and upset after losing, it’s good – it’s alive. When you win, ‘ah another win, it doesn’t matter…’ That’s why I say at the end of the season, when it’s close, people are not tired anymore. You see the holidays or fighting for the titles. When that happens it’s really good.”
