Thomas Tuchel was en route to Abu Dhabi and mentally preparing for the FIFA Club World Cup final when Pep Guardiola sat down to face the media ahead of Man City's trip to Norwich City.
Guardiola's press conference was fairly run-of-the-mill: he answered questions about the Canaries' improvement under Dean Smith, Jack Grealish, Riyad Mahrez, and delivered an injury update. Yet one question focused around Liverpool did give telling insight into the mind of the Catalan.
“I was born in Barcelona and their academy taught me everything. The best way, even there, is to think everything can go wrong," Guardiola said about the Premier League title race, which City currently lead by six points.
