Addressing reporters after the game, Guardiola didn’t shy away from the notion that many are hoping for City’s reign to wane.
But he was quick to reinforce his own commitment and determination to keep the team at the top.
“I love a challenge,” Guardiola said.
“I won’t step back. More than ever, I want to do it. People want our era to be over, but… we’re not finished yet.”
Since joining Manchester City, Pep Guardiola has led the club to six Premier League titles in seven seasons, establishing a near-unprecedented level of success.
Despite the recent setback, his words suggest a renewed resolve to continue competing at the highest level and defy those who doubt City’s staying power.
The loss may be a minor blip, but Guardiola’s message is clear: Manchester City is not done yet.
