Pep Guardiola has stressed that Manchester City must be almost perfect if we are to win a fifth Premier League trophy in six seasons.
This comes after a John Stones goal and an Erling Haaland brace earned City a 3-1 win at the Etihad Stadium over the weekend.
“We have to win, win and win,” said Guardiola after the Leicester victory.
“Arsenal have done incredibly well this season and I don’t think they are going to drop many points and what we have to do is be there.
“It was important for us to win today to arrive in the final we have against them in our next Premier League game.”
“In general we played really good,” he said.
“Especially after a UCL game and with another UCL game next week – we started really, really well.
“Often after a game like Bayern, there is rotation but in my experience in previous seasons, if you rotate a lot of the team, the levels drop a lot.
“We made two or three changes. After we conceded, we struggled a lot – always when there is a lot of substitutions at the same time we struggle.
“We have to do it better because if Leicester scored another goal, I don’t know what might have happened – football is unpredictable. But the way we played in general, I am really satisfied.”
