Pep Guardiola has warned Manchester City not to be sucked in by the “caviar” of being serial Premier League champions as he was after winning four successive Spanish titles as a Barcelona midfielder in the 90s.
The manager was unhappy with his players – “a happy flowers team” – after Thursday’s 4-2 comeback win over Tottenham, his side having trailed 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium. He identified a complacency that caused them to lack the desire to press and fight for each other.
