Manchester City showed they are ready to challenge for titles again with their performance in Switzerland this week, Pep Guardiola believes.
While City were far from their best Guardiola was full of praise for his side after the game and said the performance pleased him as much as wins over Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. Those were key victories as City won the Champions League for the first time last season.ALSO READ: Man City coach Pep Guardiola gives verdict on Manchester United
He said: "Absolutely . The most is the fact that we haven't done it for one year because this can happen, but it is still now. That makes me so happy as a young manager to go to Switzerland on an artificial pitch and perform as we did.
