Pep Guardiola reacts to Arsenal Premier League title win with message to Mikel Arteta | OneFootball

A touch of class from the Man City manager immediately after a disappointing result

Manchester City were unable to take the title race into the final day of the season after drawing 1-1 away at Bournemouth on Tuesday night, despite Erling Haaland setting up a grandstand finish with an equaliser in stoppage time.

As a result, the Gunners have been crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years - and with a game to spare.

Guardiola, though, was quick to show his class after his side’s draw with Bournemouth, sending a congratulatory message to Arteta.

Reports claim the Spaniard has decided to step down from his position as manager at the end of the campaign.

Standard Sport understands that former Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca is in advanced talks with City to replace Guardiola, with an initial three-year deal agreed in principle.

However, Guardiola refused to confirm or deny whether Sunday’s game at home to Aston Villa will be his last after a decade-long tenure.

"Like you understand the first person I have to talk to is my chairman because we decided when the finish the season we will sit and we will talk,” he added.

“Simple as that. And after we will take the decision.”
