Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has told players and staff he'll always remember this season's run to the title.

Guardiola gathered the team and the officials round for a speech after City were confirmed as champions on Sunday when West Brom defeated 1-0 Manchester United at Old Trafford.

"Ok guys, we could not celebrate together when we were champions because we were at home," Guardiola said. "So maybe this is the easiest one speech I can do but at the same time it is the most difficult one.

"Big congratulations because we are champions. We are the best in England. So for all my staff, all of the people, I would like you to feel part of that. Always you speak about the manager, the players, it is impossible to achieve what we would achieve without your unbelievable effort.

"Of course, we have absolutely everything here to help that. You know how outstanding the work is. You can lose one game, two games. To be nine months, 10 months, every single day that is outstanding.

"You create something unique. In the locker room, the spirt, and your friendship, it is impossible to achieve what we achieve if you are not good humans people, not good people.

"In the end, what we have done is to be better than 19 teams, nothing else. It is all, nothing else. But what you have done, you staff, you take care of all the people here and that is why you deserve all my respect.

"All that has happened, personally you will be in my heart until the last day of my life. I am pretty sure of that.

"What I have lived, what I have felt this season, it is something amazing. Now, when I finish, everybody down on the pitch we are going to share a picture with everyone, all the players and the staff. I would like to give ourselves the best applause we can deserve."
