Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has shared his thoughts on Liverpool’s recent surprising loss in the Merseyside derby.
Everton’s victory over Liverpool at Goodison Park dealt a significant blow to Jurgen Klopp’s hopes of winning the Premier League title in his last season as manager of the club.
The Reds squandered several goal-scoring opportunities, ultimately paying the price. Everton secured a memorable home victory with goals from Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Manchester City, the frontrunners in the title race, saw their odds boosted by Liverpool’s midweek defeat.
Guardiola has weighed in on the events at Goodison Park.
Pep Guardiola Makes Liverpool Claim After They Lost to Everton
Manchester City consistently showcase their prowess, particularly in the latter stages of each season. Under the astute leadership of Pep Guardiola, the team’s performance transcends any preceding challenges.
Last night’s match against Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium exemplified their dominance. Despite expectations of a challenging encounter, Manchester City emerged triumphant with a resounding 4-0 victory.
This victory propelled them to surpass Liverpool in the league standings, despite having played one game less than Jurgen Klopp’s squad. Guardiola, buoyed by his team’s performance, remains vigilant about the unpredictability of the title race.
In light of Liverpool’s recent defeat to Everton, Guardiola emphasized the ongoing competitiveness among the top three teams. He maintains that unexpected outcomes could shape the trajectory of the title race in the ensuing weeks.
Despite the competitive spirit, Guardiola expressed his admiration for Liverpool, underscoring the mutual respect between the two clubs.
He said, as per Manchester Evening News: “Many things can happen. What happened to Liverpool dropping two games against Palace and Everton can happen to us and happen to Arsenal.
“Everton playing for their lives – like Forest. Maybe it was a real contender for us, my appreciation for Liverpool is higher than ever. You see the game they draw at Old Trafford, or yesterday, Pickford was exceptional.
“Against Palace, the chances they miss. Tell me the reason why? It’s football. I can give examples for my team too. It’s there.
“I know the character from Liverpool institution and team, they will fight until the end. Nobody is safe.”
