City had Kelechi Iheanacho open the scoring in Wales only for Andre Ayew to equalize on a free kick at the end of the first half.
“I think the atmosphere was not the best to fight for the title”. The result saw fourth-place City reach 66 points, three ahead (and 18 goals ahead) of Manchester United. “But I am ready for another challenge as we need to prepare a good team for next season so I will speak with my chairman about changes”.

He added: “One of the most hard things was to finish this season after they announced that this club would change next season”.
“It will not be easy, but we have shown we are a good team and this is a good memory to take into the summer”.

“I think perhaps in the following years you will see a few players from the institute”, he said.
