Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed his gratitude for being in the Premier League title race despite concerns that his players would struggle with the mental and physical demands. City can win the Premier League for the fourth consecutive season if they win their remaining six games. Guardiola admitted that he feared his team would fall out of the title race due to the intensity of their schedule, including their heartbreaking Champions League exit to Real Madrid on penalties. However, City has shown resilience by reaching the FA Cup final and remaining in the title hunt. Guardiola praised his players for their ability to persevere despite the grueling schedule and said he would have signed up for their current position at the start of the season.
