Since he came to England, Guardiola has guided us to 17 major honours in eight seasons, including a record breaking four consecutive Premier League titles and a historic Treble amongst many other landmarks.
With City fourth in the Premier League going into this weekend and out of Europe, it appears our only remaining hope of silverware this term is in the FA Cup.
However, Guardiola says everyone inside and outside the Club can now appreciate just how hard it is to achieve the overwhelming success we have enjoyed in recent years.
“Maybe in the future this will be an incredible season for the Club to understand how difficult everything is,” he said in Friday’s press conference.
“And try to sustain many, many years winning the biggest trophies because it’s so difficult.
“Everybody in this room, myself and everyone, realised this season how much we did in the past. Now it puts it into perspective.
“I could say before in the previous seasons ‘it’s so difficult’ every time I say it but every time they say for Man City it’s easy.
“Now everybody realises, me the first I would say, is surprised at the situation and how incredible it is what we have done.
“We won’t be able to emulate, not even for this club unfortunately.
“Right now it is changing every one, two, three years. It’s changed a lot. Recently teams have improved in levels that we could not imagine in the past. So it will be so, so difficult.”
