Pep Guardiola Guesses Reporter Is Liverpool Fan And Gets It Wrong, They Live Rent Free In His Head

Guardiola was quizzed about this in his post-match press conference and decided to get cheeky with a journalist in attendance.

The City manager was asked: "After Wednesday’s events you must be ecstatic with that performance. That result and scoreline?"

With a wry smile, Guardiola replied: "Did you have any doubts?"

When the reporter said he didn't have too many, he snapped back with: "Yes, you are a Liverpool fan, come on."

After being told he was actually a Manchester United fan, the Spaniard's face dropped and he said: "I’m sorry, James!"

Supporters think the Reds are currently living in Guardiola's head rent-free however as we approach the business end of the season.

One commented: "Liverpool is living in his head rent free. The man is obsessed."

Another said: "Pep has lost it."

A third put: "Rodrygo has sent this man to a nervous breakdown. Look at him."

While someone tweeted: "Man has won 4 titles in 5 years but still wishes he was us."

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

"Of course because Liverpool has an incredible history behind in European competition - not in Premier Leagues, because they’ve won one in 30 years - but it’s not a problem at all. The situation is what it is."

Goals from Aymeric Laporte, Rodri, Phil Foden and a Raheem Sterling brace means City need seven points from their final three games to be confirmed champions.
