Manchester City returned to the top of the league with a 2-0 win over Cardiff City on Wednesday night and manager Pep Guardiola has said that City cannot afford to drop any points as they aim to defend their Premier League title.
“We have the feeling that if we drop points we will not be champions,” Guardiola said ahead of his FA Cup semi-final clash with Brighton.
“I don’t know what condition we are going to arrive in (against Brighton) but against Cardiff we should have scored more goals definitely, that is a little bit of regret we have.”
