After his Manchester City side put on a show for the watching nation, Pep Guardiola did very similar in his post-match media commitments.
At the conclusion of a difficult week which saw City dumped out of the Champions League in dramatic fashion, Guardiola had the last laugh following a 5-0 win over Newcastle United. The Sky Blues took a major step towards a fourth Premier League title in five seasons, moving three points clear of Liverpool after they could only draw with Tottenham on Saturday. Just days after their capitulation at the hands of Real Madrid, City silenced a few doubters with an emphatic victory over the Magpies.
And a vastly more relaxed Guardiola took the opportunity to take on a number of vendettas, including his belief that Liverpool have the support of neutrals in the race for the title. "Everyone in this country supports Liverpool, the media and everyone, of course, because Liverpool has an incredible history behind in European competition,” he explained.
