Manchester City romped to the EFL Cup title with their 2-0 win over Arsenal at the Wembley stadium on Sunday as Pep Guardiola and Co. posted a 2-0 win over Mikel Arteta’s men.
Nico O’Reilly secured the trophy for the Spaniard with two thumping headers that settled the tie on the day as Guardiola got his hands on his 40th career trophy.
Guardiola was seen celebrating his fifth EFL Cup title as animated as ever and when the question came up at the pressure about his gimmicks, he answered in typical Guardiola fashion.
“If I cannot celebrate in the moment against that team. The emotion is part of me with the way we are playing. That was for the players,” he said.
“I’m not artificial intelligence. I am a human being. I want to celebrate. Come on give me another yellow card!
“I still enjoy it to compete. Today was a real challenge.
“It is not the Premier League or the Champions League I know that. But the opponent is incredible. It was so difficult.”
Guardiola was seen celebrating his fifth EFL Cup title as animated as ever and when the question came up at the pressure about his gimmicks, he answered in typical Guardiola fashion.
“We made an incredible victory. To win against that team makes it special,” Guardiola said.
“It means a lot. Always winning a trophy is difficult, especially because, along with Bayern Munich and Barcelona, Arsenal are the best team in Europe.
“We couldn’t win against West Ham or Nottingham Forest. We lost to Real Madrid at home and away. Nobody bet a pound on us to win.
“It’s special because we had a tough two weeks. I’m really pleased because Mikel (Arteta) created a team that is almost unbeatable. A fifth League Cup in 10 years is not bad.”
“James saved us in the first minutes. Nathan Ake was excellent today. Everybody has made a contribution,” Guardiola said.
“We were required to do something we have not been good at this season, without the ball. I cannot believe how good we have done it in the second half, especially against that team.”
