If Arsenal loses to Nottingham Forest on Saturday or if Guardiola's team defeats Chelsea on Sunday, City will win the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola compared finishing the Premier League season to a tennis player serving for Wimbledon glory and said he has no intentions to celebrate if Manchester City wins the title without competing on Saturday.
If opponents Arsenal lose to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, City would have won the Premier League for the fifth time in six years before their next match.
However, Guardiola claims he is not considering that possibility and is instead solely focused on beating Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium to win it on Sunday.
"I don't think (we'll be celebrating) because we have a game the next day and Chelsea deserve it," the City manager added.I would like to believe that in order to be champions, we must triumph. "We cannot control Nottingham, and what occurs in Nottingham doesn't matter," is how we must rationalize our actions. To win the game, we must fulfill our obligations.The nicest thing would be to celebrate our victory with our supporters in the stadium.
If City wins the championship this weekend, it will be the culmination of a spectacular week that saw them advance to the Champions League final with a surprise win against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
As he works to ensure City, who trailed Arsenal by eight points last month, finishes the job in the Premier League, Guardiola claims there hasn't been much time to enjoy that accomplishment.
Naturally, we are happy to be able to play in the Champions League final, but it's nonstop, he stated.The most challenging part is about to begin. Tennis players claim that winning Wimbledon requires the hardest serve.
"On Sunday, we have a chance to win the most significant contest. We are fortunate to be able to finish at home with our family and friends. We must accept it.
