When I've said that before, people have just laughed at it, says Guardiola according to BBC.
In the last twelve matches, three of them in Champions League, the team has only won one single match, drawn two and lost nine.
Now the risk is real that they will be left out of Champions League next season, according to Guardiola. The current table position in the home league is not enough for a spot.
City has three matches to play in Premier League over the weekends, matches that can increase or decrease the risk. On Boxing Day, Everton awaits, on December 29 Leicester away, and then West Ham at home on January 4. They are all in the lower part of the table.
City is in its 14th consecutive season in Champions League, the tournament for Europe's top clubs. For previous top clubs that have fallen out for a year, it has taken a long time to get back there.
It is likely that England will get five spots in Champions League next year. City is currently in seventh place.
If we don't qualify, it's because we don't deserve it, because we didn't come prepared and because we had a lot of problems that we didn't manage to solve, says Guardiola.
