“People want Man City to fail more than ever” – Pep Guardiola

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, asserted that many would prefer the English team, Man City to fail “more than ever.”

Last weekend, the Premier League champions won the Club World Cup, raising their fifth trophy of 2023.

In addition to winning the FA Cup, European Super Cup, Champions League, and Premier League, City also won the FA Cup against Fluminense, 4-0. In the history of English football, no club has accomplished that.

However, in 2009, while managing Barcelona, Guardiola brought home six trophies as the team won the Champions League, La Liga, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup, European Super Cup, and Club World Cup.

“As much as you win, they want you to fail. More than ever. I felt then when we won the sextuple in Barcelona.

“It’s normal. They don’t want (us to win). In these 14-15 years what we have won, the titles, is unbelievable.

“People say ‘how good they play, how genius it is’. But they give credit just because we win. They don’t have to look further than that,” he said.
