Pep Guardiola: “The club is committed to continue being up there [at the top of the game] as long as possible. That is why I'm concerned and I want to work with Man City, and with the players, to get back.”
On the performance of himself and his Man City coaches this season: “Really poor.”
“The season has been poor, it's not going to change [by winning the FA Cup]. Our standards, many things, were not good - this is the reality. It's not going to change for the fact of winning one title. We'll be happy? Of course, we want to do it!
We have one more but how we behaved all of us this season, it's not going to change, so qualify for the UCL. Again, I said it's a big success, winning the FA Cup is a huge success, but the season has not been good.”

Pep Guardiola on whether he still views Kyle Walker as ‘his player’ despite leaving Man City on loan in January: “He's a player for @Milan.”
On whether he or Man City are in touch with Kyle Walker: “No. We saw him once, he was injured and had a break at Milan. He came here and we saw him.”

Pep Guardiola on whether he would understand Jack Grealish seeking a Man City exit ahead of the FIFA World Cup with England: “I'm not going to talk individually what happens in future. The future is Bournemouth and Leicester. Individually, I'm not involved.
They can do it privately with the club, it's fine, but I'm not involved, I don't want to be involved because we're here to do our job and try to get Man City to win games.”
