Manchester City are at the top of the Premier League table for quite some time now and only Liverpool gave them a serious challenge as they were only 1 point behind them before losing to Tottenham Hotspur this weekend and increasing City’s lead to 3 points at the top of the table.
Manchester City lost in a terrible fashion to Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final second leg courtesy of a last-minute downfall. Real Madrid will now face Manchester City’s title rivals Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League final.
However, they are now the favourites to win the Premier League this season, unless they miraculously start dropping points.
Guardiola takes a dig at Liverpool as everyone in the country supports them despite winning just 1 Premier League title in 30 years
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola told beIN Sports, via Marca: “Everyone in this country supports Liverpool… the media and everyone.”
“Of course, because Liverpool have an incredible history in European competition.”
“Not in the Premier League, because they have won one in 30 years, but it is not a problem at all.”
He further added: “But I don’t care. They have more supporters around the world and in England more support Liverpool than us.”
Pep Guardiola also said about what his team needs to do in order to win the Premier League this season.
He said: “We need to do nine points or maybe six right now, it depends what happens in the next two games in terms of goal difference, but now Wednesday is the real, real final for us [away at Wolverhampton Wanderers].”
“We are going to try to win there. Our destiny is in our hands and this is important. We have to look at ourselves. With one point or three points, nothing’s changed. We have to do it.”
