Pep Guardiola is soaking up every moment of another thrilling Premier League title race, even as Arsenal hold the upper hand with just three games left on the clock. The Manchester City boss knows his team has their work cut out, but he wouldn't have it any other way.

City closed the gap to two points behind the Gunners with a commanding 3-0 victory over Brentford, powered by goals from Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland, and Omar Marmoush. It's the kind of performance that keeps the title dream alive—and Guardiola is loving the ride.

"I love it. I love to be here again," Guardiola said when asked about the intensity of the race. "Finish minimum second again this season—so I love to be here."

The Catalan boss drew a contrast with last season's struggles, noting that fighting for Champions League qualification was a grind. This year feels different. "The Carabao Cup is in our pockets, we play the final of the FA Cup at Wembley. It's the most beautiful game of the season. We live it many times, and it's so beautiful."

There's no tension in the City camp, according to Guardiola. Instead, there's pride in what his squad has achieved amid a season of change. "I feel like the job has been well done. When you arrive there, fighting against Arsenal, being there after all the time and many changes that happened... it's a joy to work with them."

But the manager knows the hard part isn't over. "It's not in our hands now, so they have to drop points. But the only thing we can do is win again on Wednesday, play the final of the FA Cup, then face Bournemouth—which is not the best place to go right now—and Aston Villa. Our calendar is really, really demanding."

With just two weeks left in the season, City have won 10 of their last 11 games, dropping points only against Everton. Guardiola's message is simple: "You can lose, but try to do our job, and we'll see what happens."
