The Citizens have had a busy work schedule, with a Premier League encounter versus Liverpool on April 10 followed by a visit to the Spanish capital three days for an encounter versus Atl\u00e9tico Madrid after, and then a further FA Cup fixture versus the Reds straight after.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Guardiola further claimed that he was addressed by medical supervisors who notified him that owing to his crazy schedule, he might require an \u201cabnormal\u201d level of treatment. The hard encounter at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano did have an impact on City\u2019s men, causing Guardiola to select a weaker lineup for the FA Cup semi-final setback to Liverpool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Addressing a press conference ahead of City\u2019s league game with Brighton on Wednesday as reported by the goal, Guardiola said: \u201cOur physios, they made 71 treatments in the space between Atletico Madrid and the semi-final of the FA Cup \u2013 71 treatments. It\u2019s true, the doctor came to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The City has shut out capturing a domestic cup this year, although they are still striving for triumph in the Champions League and England\u2019s top flight. With Liverpool leapfrogging its biggest competitors after the 4-0 disgrace of Manchester United on Tuesday, the strain is on for a side that had been dominating the Premier League standings for most of the season. City, on the contrary hand, has completed one less match than Liverpool and can regain first place with a triumph over Brighton.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The strain of performing so many games has taken a toll on Man City\u2019s players. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":266,"featured_media":34025,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[473,2604,220,359,48],"class_list":["post-11555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-atletcio-madrid","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-manchester-city-f-c","tag-pep-guardiola","tag-uefa-champions-league"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/266"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11555\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
