Manchester City head coach Josep Guardiola urged his players not to lose concentration in Premier League matches.
- "Frankly speaking, if we were leading the Premier League and 18 points ahead of our nearest rival, I would have been completely immersed in the confrontation against Real Madrid. But today is not the case. We are in third place, but we are not that far from the top. However, if we lose points, it will be difficult for us to win the league title.
We have to win the match against Crystal Palace, and then we will have time to prepare for the match against Real Madrid. So you understand that I didn't have time to watch Real Madrid's matches.
The fight for the title lasts nine or ten months, so why should I be distracted from it now. The match against Crystal Palace is quite important," said Josep Guardiola.
It should be added that after 31 rounds, Manchester City is in third place with 67 points.
