City lead Liverpool by a point heading into the final round of the season on Sunday and Guardiola has the opportunity to clinch the title on home turf for the first time when they welcome Aston Villa to the Etihad Stadium.
“Liverpool were unstoppable that year (2019-20) and we were not good enough. The rest we were there (in contention). When you fight for the Premier League it gives the sense you enjoy the locker room.
“We are happier in our lives when you win and win, it makes a good environment for training. It’s not just one single game like the FA Cup… it’s more (about competing) every day, it’s nice.”
Guardiola said his side would approach Sunday’s match just like a “normal Premier League game” as he looks to maintain his perfect winning record against Villa.

“Anxious, nervous? No way,” Guardiola said.
“If we concede or struggle, come on, try again, continue and do it. It’s the best way to approach this kind of situation. Not ‘what happens if we lose?'”
When it was suggested to him that neutral fans would rather see Liverpool win the title, Guardiola said that would always be the case when one team has a history of success.
“The teams with more history have more supporters. It happens in Spain, Germany, Italy. We are outsiders in the last decade,” he said.
“Liverpool fans want to win, I’m not saying all the country are Liverpool fans, but in general they are a team with more titles.
“Liverpool, (Manchester) United and Arsenal have a lot of history, we are new. It’s why we feel it’s a privilege and won’t waste this opportunity to enjoy the 95 minutes.”
