Pep: " If they don't sack me, that can happen, but if they don't sack me, I will stay here. 100%, more than ever.First because I want to stay, because it's something special. MORE THAN THE CONTRACT THAT I HAVE. So I said before, I say now, and I will say till the end of my contract, I want to stay, I want to help the club to continue to help them to maintain this level as long as possible.
Yes, that was his english, don’t think he meant longer than his contract, just that he wanted to stay and not just because he’s contracted to. Not to say he won’t extend, just its not what he meant.post match press:

I don't think he meant beyond this contract,if you watch it he seemed to be to saying he has reasons to be here over and above his contract,like he likes it here,he then says he is staying to the end of his contract not beyond it,i wouldn't read anything more into itpost match press:

I interpreted that totally different.
I thought he was saying that his contract is not the only reason why he’s going to be here next season. His special relationship with the club is a more important factor than seeing out his contract.
However, I hope I’m wrong.
Guardiola:
"Everyone is looking for that - to be happy. I'm working with exceptional players, especially, and I have the feeling that they follow us 100 per cent, knowing how it's not easy working with us and with me."
“But I’m happy. That is the only reason why, when I move on always it's because I am thinking I can be happier, than the place that I was before. That is the only reason."
“When I feel that but I feel I am with a club, we have got incredible owners and a good relationship so I think it will not be a problem to understand both sides if we decide to stay three more years or stay in the time we are together.”
And he indicated that there are already talks in the air about staying longer.
"With Khaldoon we are going to talk at the end of the season or in the middle of next season and we will see.”
He added that when it comes to his personal decision, his “happiness” was the key factor.
“I want to stay one more year and after that it depends.”
“It also depends on the results. When I said a month ago the future we’ll have been five seasons together, I don't exclude it at all - if the club is happy with me and our group - to extend the contract."
“Now I want to be focused on these three months, we have to do game by game the best as possible, winning games and after we have time to think.”
Asked what the bottom line would be when he came to make his own decision, he said: “My happiness. I'm looking for my happiness, that’s the only thing I’m looking for."
The important thing is that I didn’t regret one second to come here and extend the contract, that is important. After that results dictate our job, there is no one different."
“Every manager is sacked, every manager has problems, every manager has good and bad moments, that is the reality now. I am no different."
“I don’t regret one moment the decision we made together and I want to finish this contract and after that we will see.”
