Pep Guardiola insists his comments about Liverpool’s Premier League record was not a swipe at them and instead praise for his Manchester City players.
The City boss risked incurring the wrath of Reds supporters and players alike when he pointed to the fact they had won just one title in the last 30 years. The dig came after Guardiola’s side bounced back from Champions League heartbreak to take the initiative in the domestic title race.
Having been dumped out of Europe in dramatic fashion by Real Madrid in midweek, City responded emphatically, beating Newcastle 5-0 to take a massive step towards another Premier League title.
