Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said he would not repeat his characterisation of Tottenham as 'The Harry Kane team' for fear of upsetting former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Argentine coach Pochettino hasn't been in charge of Spurs since 2019, when he was sacked a few months after reaching the Champions League final. The London side have appointed several coaches since his dismissal, with Jose Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo both having spells in charge before current manager Antonio Conte took over midway through the 2021-22 season.
Guardiola's description of Spurs as The Harry Kane team dates back to the 2017-18 season. He refused to repeat the phrase on Sunday, though, despite Kane breaking Spurs' all-time goalscoring record in a 1-0 victory over City.
