Pep Guardiola
Pep Guardiola insists his Manchester City team cannot yet be compared with Barcelona – because they have only won one trophy under him so far.
The Premier League leaders are now four games from winning their third title in six years and a first under the former Nou Camp boss after dropping just nine points so far this season.
Nevertheless, Guardiola is adamant his squad still has some way to go before it can be considered in the same breath as the Barcelona team he led to European success in 2009 and 2011.
Asked if they were on the same level, he said: “No. It’s completely different players, the players in the past won a lot.
e nil, most of us. We are new here. Now we can say we have won one title but it is not comparing, so no.
“It’s not good for us to be compared with that team. That team has dominated for the last decade, 15 or 20 years with different managers and different players.
“Every season, they have won a lot of things and we have won just the first title. To join this kind of team, you have to be there for a long time – many years – but we’ve won just one title, that’s all.”
