Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola on Premier League match against Newcastle on Sunday ,he said,”I am very pleased. (It was a) perfect afternoon. Before the start of the game I felt in our crowd that they were disappointed, but not sad about who we are as a team and what we have done in the last five years every three days.
Three more points. Three games left and one competition to play and big problems behind because we have just three defenders for these three games.
We are going to try and do it. Now after what happened with Liverpool and with us today, Wednesday became a final.
It is an absolute final and I am pretty sure we will prepare well to try and beat them.”
