Pep Guardiola Believed to Give the Trophy to Manchester City this Season

DBasia.news –   Xavi Hernandez believes his former Barcelona coach, Pep Guardiola, can win the trophy this season with Manchester City. Especially in the hunt for the Champions League title.

“Pep is a winner from birth,” Xavi said as quoted by Mirror.

Xavi believes that diverting the focus is important for Guardiola to ensure the achievement of the trophy. This is because it is challenging for City to pursue Liverpool, who are 14 points ahead in the Premier League.

“It will hurt him that Manchester City are far behind Liverpool. Although he will not give up, he will be realistic.”

The difference is huge and at the moment it seems unlikely that they can win three titles in a row. “I think there is a high possibility that Pep will prioritize the Champions League,” Xavi stated.

Previously Guardiola did admit that it was too difficult to chase Liverpool. “Liverpool’s profits are too big. It is highly unrealistic if we think of Liverpool. We only think about Leicester (City),” Pep Guardiola said as quoted by BBC Sport.

“We have the opportunity to return to second place. I know the quality of this team, but the situation is as it is,” added the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach.
