Guardiola tackles Mourinho!

After Manchester City’s defeat against Liverpool (0-2) in the Premier League, Pep Guardiola responded with humor to a question from journalists about a gesture he addressed to Reds supporters: he raised six fingers, symbolizing his six English league titles with City. This gesture was compared to that of José Mourinho in 2017, who raised three fingers to recall his three titles with Chelsea.

Guardiola: “Mourinho has three titles, me six”

Asked about the parallels with Mourinho, whose gesture coincided with his decline in the Premier League, Guardiola replied with a smile: “I don’t wish it on myself, even if José and I are a bit alike. But he has three championship titles, and I have six. » A clear reference to his dominance in England, despite a current series of four consecutive defeats in the league.

This statement recalls the historic tensions between Guardiola and Mourinho, who clashed fiercely during their respective stints at FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.
