Manchester City's Pep Guardiola talks about winning the Premier League early and what it means for their treble ambitions.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has warned his team against complacency and over-partying, as they still have big games ahead against Manchester United and Inter.
The Cityzens lifted the Premier League title after their 1-0 victory against Chelsea last weekend, and the squad has been in a celebratory mood. Pep, however, wants them to keep their eye on the ball as they aim for a historic treble.
What Guardiola said
The former Barcelona boss was speaking today ahead of their clash against Brighton on Thursday. He was glad to have the league title wrapped up but worried that the levels might drop.
He admitted the inevitability of a reduced intensity from his players in their last two league games against the Seagulls and Brentford, with both games a mere formality for his team.
