Manchester City's head coach Pep Guardiola stated that it is incredibly difficult to win against Barcelona this season and claimed that the Catalans or Real Madrid would have already sacked him:

To defeat Barcelona last season, you had to score four goals... That was the only way.

I really enjoyed watching their matches. I enjoyed Barcelona's play.

With the kind of year we had... Real and Barcelona would have sacked me. There wouldn't have been a chance to continue.

They would have sacked me.

Manchester City did not win any titles last season and finished third in the English championship.
