 Manchester City's manager, Pep Guardiola, expressed his belief that clinching the Premier League title has become an increasingly formidable challenge since his arrival at the club more than seven years ago. As the team vies for a fourth consecutive league championship this season, they face heightened competition, evidenced by their recent setbacks of two losses in their first ten matches.


Presently seated at third place in the league standings with 24 points, City trails Tottenham Hotspur by a narrow two-point margin, while closely pursued by Arsenal in the second position and Liverpool just a point behind them in fourth place.


In a recent media interaction preceding their upcoming home match against Bournemouth, Guardiola shared his insights on the evolving competitiveness within the league. "Every season poses a tougher challenge compared to when I first arrived. The caliber of managers and teams has notably improved," he remarked. Looking ahead optimistically, Guardiola emphasized, "With 28 games remaining, there's a lot yet to unfold."


The Manchester City manager also commended Bournemouth, acknowledging their recent triumph over Burnley. "Andoni (Iraola) is an exceptional manager, promoting an offensive and appealing style of play," Guardiola lauded. "Their resilient spirit is evident, as they refuse to adopt a defensive approach. The recent victory has undoubtedly bolstered their confidence."


Meanwhile, City's 23-year-old striker, Erling Haaland, narrowly missed out on claiming his first Ballon d'Or award, securing the second spot behind Lionel Messi. Guardiola revealed his admiration for Haaland's positive attitude despite the outcome. "I witnessed his genuine joy in being recognized as a frontrunner alongside Messi and (Kylian) Mbappe and other talented players. It was a significant moment for Manchester City," Guardiola disclosed. Encouraging Haaland, Guardiola emphasized, "With his entire career ahead of him, he must continue to strive for victories, setting his sights on the possibility of being a frontrunner in the upcoming seasons. His presence among the contenders was a source of great satisfaction for him."
