City captain Ilkay Gundogan lifted the Premier League crown for the third time in a row and the fifth occasion in six seasons following our 1-0 victory over Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium.
It was the 12th victory of an incredible Premier League winning streak that saw us take the title with three games to spare in a hectic schedule that also saw us seal a place in Champions League and FA Cup finals.
Ahead of showpiece dates with Manchester United and Inter next month, we still have Premier League games with Brighton and Brentford to play.
But the boss says the players have had a tough time and that they will have time to prepare for the finals.
“I have been so demanding in this period,” Guardiola said. “We lift the trophy so to think of going to Brighton is so exhausting. We know how difficult they are.
“The players have to celebrate otherwise it makes no sense. We will arrive with time to rest mentally for the two finals against United and Inter.
“We have to play two more games. I said enjoy it but be careful because we will destruct what we have done in these competitions.
“Now I have the feeling that all of us are a little bit tired because it’s been a long season. Now it’s the tendency to think it’s done.
“Still we have tough game at Brighton and Brentford, hopefully it can pass quick and then we have seven days to prepare United and Inter.”
Guardiola also said there was no need to play down the significance of playing in a Champions League final for the second time in three years.
“The feeling I have is we win five Premier Leagues and now we have the Champions League too,” he added.
“Sometimes it can be unfair for the fact you have to win the Champions League to give value to what you have you done.
“When I came here people didn’t say you have to win the Champions League but I know it is not complete if we don’t win the Champions League.
“Playing with this pressure is so nice. If we are not able to do it, sooner or later we will do it. We are there so we have to try.”
