Guardiola says City must win last 10 matches for European spot

Pep Guardiola has told his Manchester City side that the team must win their remaining Premier League matches to secure a Champions League spot.

“We have 10 games to qualify.

“We have to win games to qualify and we move on to the next one,” Guardiola said on Saturday after his side lost 1- to Forest.

City have 10 matches remaining in their Premier League season.

According to Guardiola, City must treat every single game as a “final”, starting with the visit of Brighton to the Etihad next Saturday.

Brighton are currently just one point behind City.

“Every season the Premier League gets better and better. We have 10 finals [to come].

“We don’t win enough games in a row to be secure. We have to do something, it doesn’t come from the sky,” Guardiola said.

City spent more than £180m in the January transfer window, bringing in the likes of Nico Gonzalez and Omar Marmoush.

But the side’s form has remained inconsistent, with City winning four and losing five of their nine matches since the close of the window.

Former Manchester United captain Rio Ferdinand feels the January signings are suffering from the team’s instability.

“I don’t think they brought in bad players but they have just come in in less stable times,” Ferdinand told TNT Sports.

“You cant bet against Man City, they have the players and the manager.”
