Published on December 4, 2019, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expressed skepticism about his team's title chances, despite a convincing 5-0 win over Burnley.
Guardiola downplayed the significance of the win, stating, 'From what I read, nobody gives us a chance. It's done.'
He emphasized the importance of focusing on the next game, the Manchester derby, rather than the title race.
City's victory was their 36th Premier League win by three or more goals under Guardiola, the most of any team since the 2016-17 season.
Guardiola praised his team's performance, saying, 'It's a good result thanks to our performance as we played really well.'
He also highlighted the importance of Gabriel Jesus's goals, which he believes will help the team in the absence of injured striker Sergio Aguero.
Jesus himself acknowledged the challenge of maintaining the team's high level of performance, saying, 'That is the challenge. We have to fight every time we play.'
