‘When Leicester won we came here (City Football Academy) in the bubble, everyone was safe,’ Guardiola said, in his pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Newcastle on Friday.
‘We trained a bit, we danced, laughed, remembered how good it was. 10-15 pizzas arrived too which was the best moment!
Then, when asked what his favourite slice of pizza was, Guardiola joked: ‘I don’t know. I was not in my perfect condition to decide which one I ate! But I think all of them was so good!’
‘Here in England, the parties are always just alcohol not food. I don’t understand why. But in that moment it was perfect.
‘It was a nice moment all-together, we celebrate really good. But now we train for tomorrow and go on.’
City have won two trophies this season and can add a third with the Champions League
Guardiola also paid tribute to chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak for backing him after a disappointing first season, back in 2016-17, when City didn’t win a trophy and narrowly qualified for the Champions League spots.
‘When I was here in the first season I didn’t win anything, and I can’t forget the disappointment of Lyon, and the support I had from the chairman,’ Guardiola added.
‘Our success is dedicated to him supporting me. Saying that we now have two weeks before a dream come true in the Champions League final.
