Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak has warned Pep Guardiola that he is expected to deliver silverware.
It has been the first season in his managerial career that has seen Guardiola finish empty handed.
And Khaldoon said: "There's nothing that annoys me more than people either calling me or sending me a message congratulating me on third place.
"My answer was pretty standard to everyone, 'don't congratulate me on getting third, there's nothing to congratulate, only congratulate me if we win the league'.
"So, this is not the ambition, not at all. There's nothing to celebrate. I think it's something which is important, it's critical, and I know it requires a lot of hard work, particularly in this league, to be in the top four.
"But our ambition is to win the league. And if not winning it, to go as close as physically possible to winning the league. I think this year, in that area, we didn't do that."
