Pep Guardiola, manager of Man City, Talks About Winning the Carabao Cup

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has jokingly said that they are already the Carabao Cup winners.

When questioned about Wednesday night’s elimination of Arsenal, Tottenham, and Chelsea from the tournament, Guardiola responded:

“Yes, we will already be champs. I’m grateful.

“We are confident because it is irrelevant.

“I’ve always stated that whether we play in a friendly, the Carabao Cup, the Premier League, the Champions League, or the FA Cup, we play to win the match.

And this will be the bar we will set in this club. We must perform as required in every competition, consistently.

Since joining City in 2016, Guardiola has already won the Carabao Cup four times.

During the 2017–2018, 2018–2019, 2019–2020, and 2020–2021 seasons, the Spaniard won it.
