Pep Guardiola on Man City signing Ilkay Gundogan: “He was not in our plans. We didn’t think he could leave Barcelona, this is the truth. I never, never thought about that. It happened in one day, and in three days, four days, we did it.”

Pep Guardiola on whether his Man City squad is stronger: “We will see. I’m really pleased with Gundo and Savinho, McAtee being back, Nico [O'Reilly] stepping up. I like it. It depends on our performance. So far? I’m happy. I didn’t expect to play the level we’ve played so far.”

Pep Guardiola on the Man City squad: “The relation between them is extraordinary. The group of players is unbelievable - it’s one of our strengths. The respect, how they push, how they train, how they compete, they are friends most of them. That is really good.”

Pep Guardiola: “We will have lows [this season], but I’m pretty sure the Man City players and the mentality that they have we will rise, and at the end of the season I will tell you it’s better than the previous season? I don’t know.”
