Pep Guardiola agrees with Mourinho amid Man City storm

According to the Spanish strategist, a return to Europe's most prestigious playground will be one of his most impressive milestones as head coach of Manchester City.

Guardiola is facing numerous difficulties as a series of Man City's pillars are injured, including Golden Ball winner Rodri , Kevin De Bruyne , John Stones and most recently Erling Haaland .

Not only that, he also has to deal with the pressure from the legal battle with the Premier League related to allegations of violating spending laws.

Previously, Jose Mourinho affirmed that helping Manchester United finish second in the 2017-2018 Premier League - the season Man City absolutely dominated - was one of the greatest achievements of his career because of the huge difference in financial strength between the two teams.

Now, Pep Guardiola is of the same opinion. Given the tough challenges Man City face this season, he believes that if the team makes it to the top four and qualifies for the Champions League, it will be a proud achievement.

Ahead of the match against Leicester City, Guardiola shared: "Winning a ticket to the Champions League next season would be an incredible success.

Just being there, after all the problems we've been through, is a huge achievement. I understand why Jose said that. For the club, the biggest target for next season is still to play in the Champions League."

For Guardiola, it is the difficulties this season that make the Champions League qualification more special than ever. He wants to prove that even a successful team like Man City cannot take lightly the ticket to the most prestigious arena in Europe.

"I've said this a million times – people take it for granted that Man City are in the Champions League every season.

I know how difficult it is. Otherwise, all the big teams would be in the Champions League every season. But that doesn't happen," Pep added.
