Guardiola defends season with Community Shield claim
Briefly

Pep Guardiola defended Manchester City's disappointing season, pointing out they are one of very few English clubs that have won a trophy this term. After failing to retain the Premier League and suffering early elimination in the Champions League, City has had a miserable campaign. Their latest setback came after losing the FA Cup final to Crystal Palace. Guardiola emphasized the importance of Champions League qualification and highlighted that only a few teams have won silverware this season, as City seeks to secure their spot in next year's competition.
"Of course, it's important to qualify, but except for Newcastle who won the Carabao Cup, Liverpool won the Premier League and Manchester City that won the Community Shield - the other teams didn't win trophies."
