City, bidding to become the first side to win four consecutive English top-flight titles, start the Premier League season away to Burnley on Friday.

“It feels like it finished yesterday but we start again,” Guardiola told a pre-match press conference on Thursday. “I don’t think it will be possible to do what we did last season, it’s once in a lifetime. I said to the players forget about it. We climbed the highest mountain last season but we have come down that mountain now,” he said.
