Premier League
Guardiola: ‘Chelsea and River are the best teams in the world, not City’
Pep Guardiola was asked if he thought Manchester City were the best team in the world and he said no, awarding the aforementioned title to European champions Chelsea but also… River Plate.
Manchester City are currently climbing into the Premier League, 12 points adrift of second-placed Liverpool and are clear favorites to win their fourth title in five years, but that fact isn’t enough for Pep Guardiola to say big words about his team.
On the other hand, the Catalan remains incredibly down-to-earth and proved it when asked by a journalist if he thinks the Citizens are the best team on the planet given their football and their impressive results since the start of the season at any given time.
“We’re not the best team in the world, the best team is Chelsea who won the Champions League and River Plate who won the Copa Libertadores I think anyway.
Things like that, who’s better, are none of my business. “The most important thing is the game we play against Norwich in three days and we have to win it.”characteristically formulated.
However, it should be noted that although Chelsea won the Champions League against City and claim the title of world champions in a few days (they participate in the final of the Club World Cup), Guardiola has been wrong… Palmeiras, since Abel Ferreira Team is the current champion of South America and not River.
