Pep Guardiola is not bad player for a penny after having "offered" the title to Liverpool by losing Thursday evening against Chelsea (2-1). At the same time, it would have been difficult to question a 23-point lead. The Citizens coach thinks he knows what is missing from his team.
“Perhaps we did not arrive with the same passion. Liverpool played each of its matches as if it were their last chance, "said the Catalan technician. "We did not have these types of moments, especially in the key moments of the first part of the season," he conceded.

- 20 Minutes Sport (@ 20minutesSport) June 25, 2020"It's the reality, we're far behind," said Pep, referring to the 23-point gap seven days to go that made the Reds the earliest champion in Premier League history.
Guardiola is already looking to next season
“Liverpool have been fantastic in consistency throughout the season. We dropped points early in the season, not Liverpool. The Reds, who have been in the shadow of City for the past two seasons, have already won 28 of the 31 games to date.
But Guardiola does not give up. "We will have to recover for next season, be more consistent and recover the points we have lost this season," he said. "We will have to take a step back, be humble, and say to ourselves" no, we cannot win every time ". Then we will have to learn what to do to prevent this situation from happening again, ”he concluded.
