Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino admits with Pep Guardiola in charge Manchester City will always be the yardstick.
Chelsea meet City later today.
I think we are all trying to be close to their level," said Pochettino. That's the idea, that's the challenge. It'll be tough of course. If he continues there, he has the experience and the capacity, and the knowledge. He's a great coach. It's going to be tough to beat Manchester City.
But we need to believe. Football is about belief and to try to develop and to create some different strategies to try to be above them.
It was tough for them to win their first Champions League (last season), but they were consistent; improving and improving and improving with the confidence in Pep's project, backing Pep for seven years. Massive credit to them."
