Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, stated that it was “wrong” to anticipate that his squad would hand Chelsea a crushing defeat.
After Sunday’s 4–4 tie at Stamford Bridge, Guardiola said, “Everyone wants to beat us.”
But he praised his team for maintaining their high standards even since they won the Triple Crown the previous year.

“We have qualified for the Champions League and are leading the league.”
It’s the exact opposite from where we came from [last season], where there was a propensity to be more sensitive. It hasn’t taken place.
You are mistaken if you think you can come here and win 7-0. Everybody aspires to defeat us. You say they have nothing to lose since it’s typical for Chelsea to lose against City since they’re a great team,” Guardiola remarked.
