Exactly one month ago, Pep Guardiola stated: "The truth is, I don't care if we don't win the championship or the league cup, but we will try. We have won enough titles."
It happened after his team lost the derby to United, and he was furious at the refereeing decisions.
Only a month passed, and City beat Arsenal yesterday (Wednesday) in the game of the season 1:3 and temporarily rose to first place in the English league, in a season in which it seemed that no one would stop the Gunners on the way to their first championship since 2003/2004.
The losing coach, Mikel Arteta, said at the end: "We still have the belief that we can do it, the players feel the same way. I personally have more belief than I had before the game. They are the best team in the world, so you have to do special things to win them".

The BBC praised the ability of Manchester City, who, apart from the fact that they achieved a great victory, played amazing football: "They exercised their muscles and showed Arsenal who is in control", wrote in England.
"This is a huge blow to the Gunners, and it will be interesting to see if they are able to recover."
The one who obviously tried to downplay the value of the victory was coach Pep Guardiola who said at the end: "If they win, they are in first place again. What they did this season is amazing and we are still in the picture. This league will be decided in the last eight or 10 games. There are 15 more. That's a lot, And there is also the Champions League on the way. Many games are tiring for the players."
