Man City vs Liverpool: Guardiola claims everyone wants Liverpool to win Premier League

Pep Guardiola has claimed that everyone wants Liverpool to beat Manchester City to the Premier League title.

City took a giant step towards the title at the weekend.

Liverpool could only draw to Tottenham on Saturday evening meaning Guardiola’s men could go three points clear with a win against Newcastle.

They did just that with an emphatic 5-0 victory. Three points clear and four goals better off in terms of goal difference.

It was a massive weekend for City and one they desperately needed after the heartbreak against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

After the match, Guardiola was understandably in a buoyant mood. However, in his post-match interview with beIN Sports, he appeared pretty spiky when asked about Liverpool.

He claimed that everyone wanted Jurgen Klopp’s side to win the league – and even alluded to their lack of league titles.

“Everyone in this country supports Liverpool – the media and everyone,” he claimed.

“Liverpool have an incredible history in European competitions. Not in Premier League – they’ve won one in 30 years.”
