Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, spoke in an exclusive statement after the team's latest match, confirming that the English Premier League title race is not yet decided.

Guardiola said: "No, the title race is not over, we have not lost, and we will continue to work hard. We have an amazing team spirit and we fought after a tremendous effort in Madrid, both in terms of the result and our style of play."

He continued: "In the first half, we had more control thanks to the team's organization and the quality of the players, and in the second half, we added great energy with exceptionally talented players. In the last two matches, we got nothing, despite the good performance."

He added: "We played much better, not only in terms of statistics but also in terms of the feeling on the pitch. We are an amazing team, and the players lead the team and continue to fight until the end."

Guardiola pointed out the difficulty of maintaining excellence: "This happens sometimes during the season, we did not score enough goals despite having the necessary quality to score, and when we don't score, teams get punished."

He continued: "Any team can score a goal or two, but we always had the ability to score many goals. This season we had many opportunities, like in the matches against Sunderland, Chelsea, and Brighton, and today we also did not take advantage of the available opportunities."

Guardiola confirmed: "In modern football, it is difficult to maintain the same level throughout 90 or 95 minutes, but our momentum and statistics always show our ability to compete."

He concluded his statements by saying: "Except for only two matches against Arsenal and Manchester United away, we deserved nothing. In the rest of the matches, we were the best, but we did not score enough goals, and this is the punishment this season despite having the quality to score."
