Pep Guardiola expects a decline in City’s performance after clinching the Premier League title but urged his treble-chasing side to maintain its high standards ahead of the FA Cup and Champions League final, the manager said on Tuesday.
City, which wrapped up the title when second-placed Arsenal was beaten at Nottingham Forest over the weekend, has won 12 successive games in the top flight. City has 88 points from 36 matches, seven more than Arsenal, which has one game remaining.
But City is now focused on sporting immortality by beating Manchester United in the FA Cup final and Inter Milan in the Champions League showpiece.
“The best way to prepare for the finals is to be ready. We set these types of standards and we have to maintain it,” Guardiola told reporters ahead of Wednesday’s trip to sixth-placed Brighton & Hove Albion.
“It is normal that we are going to drop because we expended a lot of energy already. The energy we spend was massive and once we lifted the trophy it’s normal you drop.
“The teams can hurt us and we have to adapt the way we play in both games to arrive to United and Inter in the best way possible.”
Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw at Brighton and Hove Albion as the hosts secured Europa League football.
The Blues could have taken the lead earlier with Erling Haaland missing two guilt-edge opportunities. However, they eventually hit the front through Phil Foden.
Haaland broke the offside trap, squared the ball for Foden and he tapped home. The Seagulls rallied after going behind and were deservedly level just over ten minutes later.
Julio Enciso ran at the City backline before firing a sensational long-range strike straight into the top corner leaving Stefan Ortega no chance. After the break, the Blues started the better but had to rely on some decent saves from Ortega.
Haaland thought he had won it with ten minutes remaining but it was overturned by VAR due to a foul in the build-up.
