Pep Guardiola hailed Manchester City’s ability to embrace pressure after they took charge of the Champions League race.
Matheus Nunes scored a dramatic 94th-minute winner to beat Aston Villa and go into third in the Premier League with four games remaining.
Guardiola was visibly emotional after the 2-1 victory – and claimed that their performances turned during the FA Cup win at Bournemouth as City stretched their unbeaten run to seven games ahead of Sunday’s semi-final against Nottingham Forest.
‘Football is emotion,’ Guardiola said.
