Strong words from Guardiola
This week,
before the debacle in Lisbonthe Spanish technician had been very clear about the ambitions for this season.
“So I understand that people expect us to win 38 games, 5-0 every time and win the treble every season, because those are our standards. But that’s not the case. This was not the case at the start of the season. This won’t happen. The reason it’s more difficult is that we have a lot of absentees. To win the treble, all the planets must be aligned. No injuries, good dynamics, opponents who drop points at the right time. This is not possible this season. »
