Dismissive Pep Guardiola tells Arsenal fans to 'be happy' with "most important title"

A dismissive Pep Guardiola says Arsenal fans should be satisfied that they have already won "the most important title" this season: Champions League qualification.

Arsenal returned to winning ways on Tuesday night with an impressive 3-1 victory against Chelsea, but Manchester City are still in pole position to clinch their fifth title in six years after beating the Gunners at the Etihad last week. Mikel Arteta refused to give up hope of overhauling Guardiola and co after their big win on Tuesday night - even though City have two games in hand on their rivals.

But Guardiola has now sensationally written off Arsenal's chances of ending their 19-year title drought and claimed that fans should be "so happy" that their multi-year exile from the Champions League will end next year.
