“In Barcelona, it was always Barcelona and Madrid. With Bayern Munich it was Dortmund, so yeah maybe it is the first time with three… ‘What is Arsenal doing here?’ No, [they’re] welcome.” Guardiola said when asked whether this was the tightest title races he has experienced.

He added: “So, yeah, it’s three top teams, I would say, so at the end, we arrive at the end with a small margin of difference and we know exactly what we have to do.”

According to Guardiola, his side now has to win all their remaining games and hope that their rivals slip up in the final lap.
