After defeating Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park last weekend, Manchester City increased their lead over Liverpool at the top of the table to six points.

Guardiola said in his post-match press conference after Everton’s win that most teams defend deep against Man City: “I know we provoke them, but yeah, except Liverpool, Brighton, Arsenal, Villa, and Leeds United, the rest, yeah.”

“The rest sit back, but I’m not saying there is anything wrong with that.

“Every manager can do what they want.

“One of the principles is to be patient. Don’t concede goals and in the right moment, we can do it.

“We need to continue doing like this.”

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
