Thanks to this success, City reduced the gap with Arsenal to three points, with another game in hand. The coach, however, was measured about the importance of this result, recalling that the main thing was to now ensure qualification for the Champions League. Guardiola said: “This match gave us hope, that’s all. I told them after the meeting to enjoy the moment, but not to lose their concentration now. We have four long weeks ahead of us and I know what the message will be: we are there. The reality is that we are not at the top of the championship, and our goal difference is worse than theirs. But step by step: we retain the hope of fighting until the end. Of course we believe in it. Next season we will definitely be in the Champions League, and that is the biggest trophy for these clubs. »
