Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola Claims All Of England Supports Liverpool

Pep Guardiola has claimed that the whole of England, and the English media, want Liverpool to win the Premier League and not Manchester City.

The race was closer ahead of the weekend, with the defending champions leading the Reds by just one point going into the latest round of games.

The results took them a whole win above their rivals and, just as importantly, the goal difference swung in their direction, but Guardiola was still in fiesty mode after the match.

Speaking after full time, the City boss claimed that all of the country, and especially the media, supported their rivals, whilst also aiming a dig at them for only winning the league once in 30 years.

"Everyone in this country supports Liverpool, the media and everyone," the former Barcelona boss told beIN Sports.

"The situation is what it is.

"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.

"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."

After the match the 51-year-old revealed that Ruben Dias, John Stones and Kyle Walker were all out injured for the rest of the season.

The manager wasn't worried though, joking, "I'm not worried at all... because if Phil Foden has to play as a central defender, he will play central defender," asked if he was serious, the manager responded, "No."
