“The intention is, every season, to play in the Champions League and do the best as possible. It’s not about what is going to happen on Monday. It’s not about what’s going to happen on Monday. On Monday we’ll know. I’m so confident – because I know, I am here and I saw the arguments of the club – that next season we will be there,” Guardiola told British media.
“But we have to wait. After [the decision], I will give my opinion and the club will give a statement.,” he added
