Asked whether he believes his side are beginning to receive the same sort of respect worldwide as Barcelona enjoy, Pep answered that he still thinks there is work to be done.
“I think the team grows one of the most step by step. In the last three years we grow a lot. I think to compare to Barcelona we are far away but we are getting better,” the boss said.
“I feel humble and we are taking small steps. Manchester City make back to back titles and we make 100 points and fight for all the titles.”
