On Sunday, the Premier League will be treated to the clash between Manchester City and Liverpool. A match that has become the English clasico of recent years. But today, Pep Guardiola must face the Reds without Jürgen Klopp. The Cityzens coach has nothing against Arne Slot, but he really misses his German rival.
“In Barcelona and Real Madrid, the noise outside is 1,000 times louder than here. The crowd in the stadium is quite similar, it’s fantastic. We have helped City create this rivalry over the last decade. Before that it was Manchester United-Liverpool, I guess. What happened during the Jürgen period meant that this was the most important, because after the first season the Premier League was between us and them. I have always appreciated this healthy rivalry. I always had the feeling that we respected each other. Jürgen gave me a lot and I miss him. He taught me a lot about what I had to do to try to beat him.”Guardiola said at a press conference.
