"We have something unique in front of our eyes (but) in the beginning of the season, no, we didn't think at all about winning four Premier Leagues," said Guardiola.
But always there has to be something.
When we were in February, March, April, it was 'Oh, we are still there - we can do it' and that ignited something in all our heads to say 'Guys, no team has done it.'
"That shows how difficult it is. Liverpool in the 1980s, United with Sir Alex Ferguson in the 90s, Chelsea with (Roman) Abramovich and Jose (Mourinho) - even Arsenal with (Arsene) Wenger - they haven't done it.
They haven't done it as it's so difficult it's as simple as that.
There can be a tendency for complacency, the opponents are better, injuries there are so many circumstances which happen (and) that's why you can't do it.
This year we survived five months without Kevin (De Bruyne), two months without Erling (Haaland), many problems and we have new players and every single game the people who were there recognise the team.
Some players stepped up with minutes and have played really good.
Our game helped us be where we are right now. I would say it's not easiest opponent to play tomorrow. But it is what it is, and we go for it."
