Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has described this season as the “most difficult” of his 17-year managerial career.
Manchester City sit third in the Premier League with three games remaining and face Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final next Saturday, in a bid to bring a joyful ending to a sad season.

“It’s been the most difficult [season], that’s for sure,” Guardiola said.
“It’s been more demanding—much more. When you don’t win, it’s more demanding emotionally and in terms of preparation, and the moods and everything. It’s been more difficult than the previous seasons we played for the titles.
"We represent the people, represent the club, so you have to do your job as best as possible. And today, this season, we didn’t do that.”
