'Dream come true' - Pep Guardiola explains full-time reaction as Man City inch closer to title

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Pep Guardiola insisted his post-match scenes with the travelling Manchester City fans at Everton were not premature title celebrations, but did admit he is living the dream by potentially reaching the Champions League final and winning the Premier League title in the next two games.

Guardiola led his Manchester City side to a 3-0 win at Everton on Sunday, with the Blues knowing that two wins from their final three fixtures will guarantee the title for the third year in a row.

If Arsenal were to lose against Brighton or Nottingham Forest before City face Chelsea next Sunday, the title could be secured with a win at the Etihad in seven days' time.

Before that, City welcome Real Madrid to the Etihad for the Champions League semi-final second leg after a 1-1 draw in Spain last week, and Guardiola couldn't be happier with the potential of what could be achieved in the coming weeks.

"We are the only team in Europe fighting all the competitions. "Still it is not over, the Premier League never ends, I am pretty sure Arsenal is going to win the two games they have in hand and after being at home with the chance to reach the Champions League final, it is extraordinary." Guardiola was particularly impressed with City's game-management at Everton, who had beaten Brighton away in their previous outing.
