Pep Guardiola asked about the competition in the Premier League.

The teams that can do well this 2024/25 season.

Amongst the other cubs discussed, Pep Guardiola talking about Newcastle United:

“Newcastle United will be back because it’s one game a week [they are playing].

“They don’t have a European competition [this season].

“The way they play, the physicality they play with, just one game a week, we will be trembling.

“We’ll be trembling when we play against them.”

Pep Guardiola has a tendency for the dramatic and to try and deflect away the pressure on his own all conquering team.

However, this was also almost exactly the same Newcastle United message that Pep Guardiola was putting out back in October 2022 (see below).

The Man City boss talking about Newcastle United’s threat in that season where we ended up fourth, having had no European distraction.

Pep Guardiola speaking about Newcastle United after NUFC won 2-1 at Tottenham – October 2022:

“There will be a lot of teams fighting for the Champions League, fighting for the title.

“Look now, Newcastle is another part of this, is already there [fighting for the Premier League title / top four places].

“I saw them last weekend against Tottenham.

“I see the physicality we faced, we played them [Newcastle United] in the third game of the season.

“Imagine this team [Newcastle United] with one game a week, with [no] European competition?

“Phewww, they are a contender, a contender to be there.

“The manager is Eddie [Howe] and you know how good he is.
