Guardiola says only remedy for City is to work harder

"I suffer for my players. Exceptional situations over the last seven years have always been there and always winning is exceptional but sometimes it is living this kind of situation," Guardiola told Sky Sports.

"It is not for me that it is hard because like all the managers and teams in the world, they try to do their best and are fighting and the managers work as much as possible.

"The only way I know, like all football players and as a manager right now, is to work harder.

“Now we have one week, you think about what you can do to be better.”
