Manchester City manager Guardiola said qualifying for the Champions League this season was like winning a trophy.

Manchester City have struggled to qualify for the Champions League this season, having struggled to finish third in the league.

“I’m relieved today because qualifying for the Champions League is like winning a trophy. It’s great to finish third. It’s not perfect, but we’ll be playing in the Champions League next season. I’m very proud,” said Guardiola.

Guardiola has won trophies at every club he has managed, and has never missed out on a Champions League spot since his time as Barcelona manager.

Guardiola has also maintained his record of never finishing lower than fourth in the league during his time as manager.
