Pep Guardiola hailed his Manchester City side’s desire to leave a lasting legacy after lifting a third straight League Cup by beating Aston Villa 2-1 at Wembley on Sunday thanks to goals from Sergio Aguero and Rodrigo.
City have now won eight of the last nine trophies on offer in English football under Guardiola, who has now won 29 trophies in his managerial career.
“(Since) we won the first title here against Arsenal in the League Cup we played 11 competitions and won eight. Is a lot,” said Guardiola.
“For this club it is not just about one title it is about showing every game we play counts and we want to win.
“Everybody knows we have the responsibility to fight, to try to win the titles. Eight out of 11 is something remarkable.”
After City sped into a 2-0 lead inside 30 minutes, Mbwana Samatta pulled a goal back for Villa, but their wait for the club's first silverware since 1996 goes on.“I'm disappointed. Everyone wrote us off, but there was a lot of belief in that dressing room,” said Villa boss Dean Smith.
“Unfortunately you have a mountain to climb against a team like Man City when you go 2-0 behind.”
