Former Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole believes Manchester City are the best team in Europe on current form but may still miss out on the Premier League title because they have left their charge too late.
Pep Guardiola’s side secured a domestic cup double on Saturday with a 1-0 win over Chelsea in the FA Cup final, having already beaten Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final in March.
“The only reason they won’t win the league this year is they will run out of road,” Cole said. “That old saying you don’t get beat you just run out of time. They are at the moment you can’t argue they are the best side in Europe in terms of form.”
City head to Bournemouth on Tuesday needing a victory to take the title race to the final day and put pressure on Arsenal, who face Crystal Palace.
Former City goalkeeper Joe Hart warned rivals Arsenal that City will not give up. “They are still going to be pushing I promise you, they’re not giving up on the Premier League. There’s still big, big moments and they will keep going,” he said.
