Manchester City midfielder Rodri has appeared to reiterate Pep Guardiola’s recent comments about Liverpool.
The Reds are battling with Man City for the Premier League title, with just three matches left to play. Liverpool are three points behind the leaders, but did lose ground in the title race after drawing with Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend.
A day after Liverpool dropped points against Spurs, Man City capitalised by beating Newcastle United 5-0 on Sunday. However, after the game Pep Guardiola claimed that “everyone in the country” is supporting Liverpool in the title race.

"Everyone in this country supports Liverpool, the media and everyone,” Guardiola told beIN Sports.
“Of course, Liverpool has an incredible history behind it with European competitions. Not in the Premier League...[they’ve] won one in 30 years, but it’s not a problem at all.”
Now Rodri, who is speaking ahead of Man City’s midweek trip to Wolves, has said it’s “normal” for people to support Liverpool. The midfielder went on to send a warning that City want to “change the history” that is in Liverpool’s favour.
“Liverpool has a better history than us [Manchester City], that’s normal,” Rodri told Sky Sports.
“And of course, Liverpool have been in the top two or three teams of all time in this country, so it’s normal that the common of the group support them.
“But we’re here to change the history and start being part of a modern era of the Premier League, and one day be as big as Liverpool is now, as a club.”
