He emphasized the importance of the upcoming matches and the need to secure four points to qualify for the Champions League. "We played a great game, but it wasn't enough to win. We have two games left, and we need to be aware of our goal," he said.
Guardiola also made a point about the achievements of other teams, saying, "Newcastle won the Carabao Cup, Liverpool won the Premier League, and Manchester City won the Community Shield. The other teams didn't win anything."
Regarding Rodri's return from his ACL injury, Guardiola said that he is making progress and may return to the team if given the all-clear from the club doctor. "We'll see. Some players are better, and Rodri is getting better day by day. We'll assess his condition," he said.
Guardiola also discussed the possibility of a new penalty taker for Manchester City, saying that he hasn't spoken to the players about it but will give the opportunity to whoever scores the goal in training.
He expressed confidence in the team's ability to qualify for the Champions League, stating that it's essential to secure four points in the next two games. "We want to be in the Champions League, and if we don't qualify, we don't deserve it and will be in the Europa League. It is what it is," he said.
Guardiola is focused on the upcoming match against Bournemouth, saying that he hasn't watched the FA Cup final and will review it later to show the players. "I've only been focused on Bournemouth, Bournemouth, and Bournemouth," he said.
