Pep Shifts Pressure, Claims 6 Teams Must Win Titles After Massive Spending

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has shifted pressure onto Premier League teams, stating that 6 other clubs have spent more money than his team and must now win championships. City recently strengthened their squad with mid-season transfers, bringing in Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace and Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth. Guardiola candidly commented, 'In the last 5 years, we're 7th in net spending. I want to be number 1. I don't understand why the club doesn't spend more.' He provocatively added, 'These 6 teams must win the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup because they've spent so much money in the past 5 years.'
