Pep Guardiola took a swipe at the scheduling as Eurovision threatens his team's tilt at the Treble.
Manchester City head to Goodison Park on Sunday in a Premier League title race where there is little margin for error, before their big showdown with Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday. The Blues had wanted to play Everton on Saturday but it was deemed impossible given Liverpool is hosting Eurovision on that day and there will not be enough police for a football match.
Guardiola is choosing to see the positive of having an extra day to prepare for Everton, but the unhappiness at the time between that game and Real Madrid was clear. Even if he did not criticise the Premier League directly, the City boss moaned at a fight he is tired of losing.
