Pep Guardiola insisted his post-match scenes with the travelling Manchester City fans at Everton were not premature title celebrations, but did admit he is living the dream by potentially reaching the Champions League final and winning the Premier League title in the next two games.
Guardiola led his Manchester City side to a 3-0 win at Everton on Sunday, with the Blues knowing that two wins from their final three fixtures will guarantee the title for the third year in a row. If Arsenal were to lose against Brighton or Nottingham Forest before City face Chelsea next Sunday, the title could be secured with a win at the Etihad in seven days' time.
Before that, City welcome Real Madrid to the Etihad for the Champions League semi-final second leg after a 1-1 draw in Spain last week, and Guardiola couldn't be happier with the potential of what could be achieved in the coming weeks.

"It is a dream come true, honestly, I know we don’t get trophies but it is a dream come true being here," Guardiola said. "We are the only team in Europe fighting all the competitions.
"Still it is not over, the Premier League never ends, I am pretty sure Arsenal is going to win the two games they have in hand and after being at home with the chance to reach the Champions League final, it is extraordinary."
Guardiola was particularly impressed with City's game-management at Everton, who had beaten Brighton away in their previous outing. With the Champions League semi-final legs sandwiching the trip to Everton, the manager expressed his happiness at the performance, before explaining his passionate celebrations with the travelling fans at Goodison Park.
He said: "We were away between Champions League games so it was tricky. I was really impressed with the way Everton handled the game against Brighton. We handled the game, they are so good at transitions.
"We scored the goals in the right moment, it is so important and nice to celebrate with our fans, they have travelled. We need two more games, six points to be champions. Hopefully we win the next one vs Chelsea."
