Guardiola hit out at UEFA and FIFA for his or her fixture organisation following Saturday's closing win over Inter. He admitted he isn't but excited about his plans for subsequent season, a remark which frightened some City followers.

Guardiola informed BT Sport: "Right now I don’t have any energy to think about the next season - it is impossible. All of us need a break, the season is too long.

"Most of those guys go to their nationwide groups to play video games, so truthfully, UEFA, FIFA, give it some thought. They completed the Premier League what, two weeks in the past? They come again from their holidays having performed too many video games.

"These guys will have two or three weeks off and start again next season. We demand and push them and push them, it’s too much."
