Although some believe having to come from behind in a title race is more mentally demanding, City defender Ake believes the advantage is with his team.
“For me it doesn’t matter really,” Ake said. “It’s in our hands so we’re not depending on what they do. That’s the difference from last year, we were still depending on what they were doing.
“This season it’s in our hands. The only thing we have to do is focus on the next one. At the moment, it’s going well but we know what we have to do in the end—win four games and we can be champions again,” Ake said.
