Guardiola: We have a team bigger than Messi, Ronaldo

Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, has said he was proud of his team that is bigger than a player like Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Citizens manager is delighted with how the team has been playing in recent months.

City are well clear at the top of the Premier League and have won 16 successive domestic games.

“We don’t have players who can win the game by himself – we don’t have a Messi, a Cristiano, Mbappe or Neymar,” Guardiola told reporters.

“We have to do it as a team.

“I’ll be honest, I would love to have a player who scores every single game four goals and runs like these players run, I would love it.

“I wouldn’t change any player that we have right now, in this season. All of them.

“That’s why many times I praised our captain Fernandinho, like how he helps on and off the pitch to stick together in the bad moments.

“The big teams, the big players show it in the bad moments, in the good moments everyone is easy to play, and we had the bad moments this season.

“We had a moment when we were in 12th position in the table, we were five points away from Tottenham [and eight after the loss] who were top of the league when we lost there and now we are 17 points ahead of them.

“So that means consistency, how we turned over this situation, and that means a lot. Maybe that won’t be enough to win the title, but what we enjoyed the last two months belongs to us.”
