"We are not stupid," Guardiola told BBC Sport. "If we draw, drop just two points, Liverpool will be champions.

"If we win all our games we will be champions. The players know it."

He added: "We know the tough games we have and we must try to perform like today and win them all. If we do that we will celebrate, if not we will congratulate Liverpool."    "It happened a few years ago - we won 14 in a row to be champions. If we win all the games we will be champions," he added. 

"It depends on fatigue and injuries, it depends on the Champions League. 

"We have just one month - maybe five weeks. Eleven months and it comes down to one month, we will do everything we can to be the best in those games. 

"Three difficult away games [at Leeds, West Ham and Wolves] but it's just six games and we'll do our best, after that who knows what is going to happen. 

"We are facing one of the best teams in football history - they have everything. The players know it. The game we played here [the 2-2 draw with the Reds] we were better and could not win. 

"We don't have any chance to drop any points. We've played with this pressure, having to win."
