Pep Guardiola's title prediction

According to Guardiola, the title race is far from over as he actually expects the remainder of the season to be tougher.

"I never said the title race was over. It's normal. In January and February the teams at the bottom won their games because everyone fights for everything. It will be difficult. We know it," the Spaniard said as quoted by Mirror UK.

"But it's happened. We lost a game. We will recover with training sessions and prepare for the next game. We have to fight for every game and every game we are going to win we will be closer," he added.
