Pep Guardiola appeared relieved after his team rescued a point after 2-0 down at half time against West Ham. The Spaniard appeared in the post match conference where he said: “the big, big privilege we have is that, at home, it’s in our hands. We don’t have to look at anything else other than ourselves. We just have to give everything.
“I said [to the players], ‘Don’t be sad today because we gave a really good performance. It’s fair, against this opponent, to arrive at the last day to decide who gets the title because both teams are so good’.
“Against this Liverpool, you cannot win the league four games ago. You have to fight until the end.
“Next week our stadium will be sold out, we will give them our lives and they will give theirs, all together. To do it is an incredible privilege, after many years.
“To have our chance with our people, to win one game to be champions. I’m looking forward to it.
“Great comeback. And a comeback against this team in this stadium with the way they defend and how strong they are was an incredible credit to the team.
“We played a really good game. We spoke at half-time and said if we score one goal, we’ll be in the game, don’t give up. Fortunately, we scored early in the second half.
Pep Guardiola: “We will do everything in that game to win the title.”
“One more week, one more game, with our people at home. I assure you something: it will be sold out in the Etihad Stadium and we’ll do the best performance possible to win the game and win the title.
“It would have been perfect to win today but West Ham is fighting for Europa League and have made an incredible season. It’s in our hands, that’s good.
“It will not be easy, there will be a lot of emotions. We have to train calm and arrive fresh. We have one week. Some days to recover. And we will do everything in that game to win the title.”
