Arsenal accelerates, Pep Guardiola immediately makes a noteworthy statement.

Man City makes things difficult for themselves by dropping points, but Pep Guardiola still believes the race is long.

Manchester City drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest at Etihad in the 29th round of the Premier League, in a match where they twice took the lead. This result caused the Sky Blues to drop crucial points, allowing Arsenal to extend their lead to 7 points at the top of the table, although City still have a game in hand.

However, instead of being pessimistic, Pep Guardiola displays a steadfast attitude regarding the title race. “The reality is there are still many games to play, we must continue,” he affirmed when asked about the possibility of turning the situation around. According to the Spanish strategist, the season still has many rounds left and any scenario is possible.

Man City's manager acknowledges the regret of not being able to secure the advantage. “Disappointed with the result. We did everything. The team didn't concede many goals and created quite a few chances, especially towards the end. But we must keep going,” Pep Guardiola shared with contemplation.

Not stopping there, he still sees many positive signs in his players' performance. “Overall, it was a good performance. Many positives. And of course, there are still some aspects we need to improve. But overall, it was very solid.”. Pep's message is clear: his confidence remains unshaken.

Regarding the main developments of the match, Man City controlled the game early and opened the scoring in the 31st minute through Antoine Semenyo's volley. Nottingham Forest equalized early in the second half thanks to Morgan Gibbs-White, before Rodri headed in to make it 2-1 from a corner situation.

However, drama continued as Elliott Anderson fired a shot from the edge of the box in the 76th minute, sealing the 2-2 draw. In the final minutes, the home team pressed strongly but could not find a decisive goal. Man City left the pitch with regret, while Guardiola left the press conference believing the race is not over yet.
