Pep Guardiola has stated that Manchester City are not the favorite to win the Premier League, in a dig at Liverpool.
Pep Guardiola claims that the entire country wants Liverpool to win the Premier League over Manchester City, and he vows to continue upsetting the English football status quo.
Guardiola led City to a 5-0 victory over Newcastle, putting them three points clear at the top of the table with three games remaining. City now has a better goal difference than Liverpool, as well as an advantage in the 'goals scored' column, should the title come down to those parameters.
But it was Guardiola's remark on Liverpool's widespread support that will undoubtedly dominate the post-match discussion, as he claims everyone wants Liverpool to win the premier league.
Everyone in this country, including the media, supported Liverpool a week ago."
"Of course, Liverpool has a tremendous European history." They haven't won a Premier League title in 30 years, but that isn't a concern. The position is as follows: we need to score nine points, possibly six, depending on the results of the next two games. Wednesday is the true final for us. We're going to try and win. Our fate is in our own hands, and we must consider ourselves. Nothing changes whether it's one point or three points."
When asked about his comments, Guardiola stated that City is determined to win the title for their own fans and maintain their domestic supremacy of the previous decade.
In terms of titles, history, legacy, and dramas, Liverpool and United are the most important teams in history "He elaborated.
"We've been there for the past ten, eleven, and twelve years. I understand that we are sometimes uneasy, but I don't mind. People want Liverpool to win more than we do; it's not a problem; it's natural. They have a larger international following. This is not the question; it is the fact that people are backing us more than ever in a one-off game because they know we can rely on these players even if we are not in the Champions League.
The crowd was incredible, and maybe we'll be able to finish the season here with a chance to be champions."
In terms of goal difference and points advantage, Guardiola believes there is still a chance that City and Liverpool can finish the season even.
At this point, anything can happen; we might lose a game, they could win all of them, and goal differential is crucial," he said.
"A week ago, we had a lot of distance; now we are in front." They have the ability to score a lot of goals and the threat to do so. It's not about that now; it's about Wolves winning the game because it's a true final. Perhaps they will assist us in winning that game so that we can play Vila in the championship game at home."
