Pep Guardiola suggests Arsenal’s recent draw against Sunderland won’t define the Premier League title race, emphasizing that the ‘real season’ only truly begins after the international break.
Pep Guardiola has cautioned that the Premier League title race remains very much alive, insisting “in early November no one wins the title.”
According to a report from Football.co.uk, which quotes Metro, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has sent a pointed message to Arsenal as the two sides vie for the Premier League crown.
Despite Arsenal’s strong start, Guardiola emphasized that it’s too soon to declare them champions. He is quoted as saying, “in early November no one wins the title.”
Guardiola urged his team to focus on winning their games and staying within reach, rather than simply hoping for slips from Arsenal.
He pointed to his experience, noting how titles are often won by teams that “grow” throughout the season.
He also stressed that the “real season starts” now, following the end of international breaks, signaling that the most crucial phase of the campaign lies ahead.
Guardiola’s remarks come as City look to close the gap on Arsenal, reaffirming his belief in his squad’s ability to challenge for the title.
