Pep Guardiola believes it is inconceivable Jürgen Klopp has given up hope of catching Manchester City in the title race because the Liverpool manager is such a fierce competitor.
City lead the Merseyside club by nine points having played a game more and Guardiola said his team may need 96 points to retain the title – a figure Liverpool could reach only by winning all their remaining matches. After Liverpool beat Leicester on Thursday Klopp played down his side’s chance of catching City. Guardiola was told – wrongly – that the German had said it was impossible to overhaul the leaders and was asked for his response.
