Manchester City supervisor, Pep Guardiola has actually claimed they are not the best team worldwide.

City, on Wednesday night, opened up a 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League table with a regular 2-0 win over Brentford at the Etihad Stadium.

The champions now have 17 wins from their last 19 games, however Guardiola firmly insists Chelsea’s Champions League triumph last season means they are still the team to beat.

“No, we are not the very best team on the planet, The finest group is Chelsea who won the Champions League. The crucial thing remains in three days we go to Norwich and have to win the video game.

“This thing about who is the best, I don’t care. Enjoy, and try to play much better every day and at the end we will see.

“We are in a good position, 60 points at the moment. We need to qualify for the Champions League [next season] since that is the most important target and then get here in the last couple of video games fighting for the title. This is what I want to do,” Guardiola stated.
