Relaxed Man City boss Pep Guardiola insists he has an 'incredible good feeling' about next weekend's Champions League final against Chelsea... with Catalan aiming for his first European title since 2011

Looking more relaxed than he's done for months, Pep Guardiola says he has an 'incredible good feeling' about next Saturday's Champions League final against Chelsea.

It's an unusual statement for the Manchester City boss to make given his normal prudence ahead of big games.
