Pep Guardiola spoke on Manchester City’s latest Premier League title win during their city-centre parade on Monday.
Man City scored three goals inside six minutes to fight back to beat Aston Villa 3-2 on Sunday. This win saw them edge out Liverpool by a point to retain the Premier League.

“It was the plan, 0-2, calm, calm,” Guardiola said with a laugh. “And after we scored it was a great night.
“Everybody knows what has happened is an incredible achievement. This is the toughest league, in six years since we arrived we had four. The happiness on all the faces is the greatest reward we can get.”

“We never give up and we have to be so proud of the group.”
