Guardiola spoke about what would happen if "City" couldn't qualify for the Champions League

“Manchester City” is facing difficulties in defending their championship title this season. The players of “Liverpool” are close to breaking Guardiola's team's dominance in the English Premier League. At the same time, the “citizens” are still fighting for a Champions League spot and the FA Cup.
Spanish specialist Josep Guardiola commented on what the situation would be like if his team could not achieve these goals:
"I also want us to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. But if we can't achieve that, it’s not a tragedy. It will definitely be a problem, but we have overcome such situations before.
There are many teams that have not qualified for the Champions League in the Premier League and then returned to this competition. How many years has “Manchester City” been participating in this competition? Ten years? No, even more than that. Before that, the team had never qualified for the Champions League. We have learned to achieve the impossible and we will do it again. We will definitely qualify for this tournament," Guardiola said.
Guardiola's words can serve as motivation for the “Manchester City” players. Regardless of how the team finishes the season, its role and reputation in European football will remain high.
