The City boss made the claim after his side were beaten by Tottenham in the Carabao Cup.
Pep Guardiola has insisted his suggestion Manchester City lost last season’s FA Cup final because they were a “little bit hungover” was a joke.
“Of course we were ready. They beat us fairly but, after winning the Premier League, we had to celebrate it. “We could analyse some episodes but they deserved to win. We congratulated them. I won’t make the excuse we were not ready – we were ready and they were better. That’s all.”
