Guardiola: I have a contract until 2027, and I congratulate Arsenal and Arteta on the title

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola appeared in a press statement following the 1-1 draw against Bournemouth in the 37th round of the English Premier League, at the Vitality Stadium.

Guardiola said after losing the Premier League title to Arsenal: "It was a tough match, and we knew that. We lacked a bit of energy, which is normal. They had 12 days to prepare for this match, and they are a team that plays with a lot of energy, especially from the players in the front line."

He added: "We played just three days before this match, with travel and fatigue, yet we fought. In the second half, we started very well, and we had a chance through Nico O'Reilly. There was also a disallowed goal for Erling Haaland due to offside, and I believe the video technology should have reviewed the incident."

He added, "After that moment, we didn't manage to create the impact we needed. We scored a goal, but it was too late. That's what happened, and it's over."

He emphasized: "The players gave everything throughout the season and fought despite difficult circumstances until the end. We were very close. On behalf of Manchester City, I congratulate Arsenal, Mikel, and the entire coaching staff on the Premier League title they deserve. A lot of effort and work was put in, and I congratulate them on that."

He concluded about his future: "I can say that I have one year left on my contract, but we have long been accustomed to any discussions during competitions leading to poor results. The first person I should talk to is the club president, because we make the decision together. We will simply talk, and then we will decide. As I said, I have another year on my contract, and I will not speak here before I talk to the club president, the players, and the coaching staff. I am the happiest man in the world being in this club because it is an exceptional club."
