Victory saw City close the gap on Leicester to a single point, but with Liverpool 10 points clear and with a game in hand, Guardiola was not showing any signs of optimism.
“When a team has 16 victories from 17 it’s unrealistic to think we are going to chase them. It’s unrealistic right now,” he said.
“We have to try to win our games, secure Champions League for next season and then you never know. If they drop a couple of games, and we win and win… I don’t know.
“When one team lose one game in the last 56 I’m not optimistic that they are going to lose four or five in 10 or 11 games.”
