It was a nail-biting night for Guardiola as his City side struggled to break down Leicester before Kompany’s stunning intervention on 70 minutes.The Belgian defender will never score a better goal in his career – a ferocious 30-yard drive that left Kasper Schmeichel with absolutely no chance.4

Kompany struck an incredible shot from distance to seal Man City a vital victory

Asked what he was thinking when Kompany lined up to shoot, Guardiola responded: “No shoot, no shoot, no shoot!“We were lucky that he didn’t follow my thoughts.“He scored an incredible goal. When he is fit, his personality, his character, he is an outstanding player.”4

Guardiola went on to claim in his press conference that Liverpool have it easier than his side, as they are ‘playing without pressure’.Jurgen Klopp’s Reds have been in similarly fine form as their rivals and are just a point behind City, needing to better their result on Sunday to snatch the title.Liverpool play without pressure because they know it is not in their hands. It is easy, said Guardiola. We have the pressure.4

How the top of the table looks ahead of the last day

On the final day, City face Brighton away, while Liverpool host Wolves, and Guardiola is not taking anything for granted.“One game left and we’ll try,” said. “It is now 95 points and we need one more victory.“We’ll go to Brighton trying. I don’t have to say anything to the players because they are mature.“Brighton will be tough. They went to Arsenal and got a result. We played them in the FA Cup and that was tough because they are strong, have the set pieces, and I know they’re playing for pride.“But it’s in our hands. We were seven points behind and never gave up. We won 13 games in a row and that’s why we are in that position.”
