Pep Guardiola: Manchester City’s exit through the eyes of rival fans

It comes down to when your longtime nemesis says it’s time to move on and you actually feel a little sad about it.

It seems that a chapter in English football is indeed closing.

I actually became like Guardiola – a feeling that made it easier Liverpool Refuses to compete with his team this season.

Between his compassionate politics and his increasingly funny press conferences, the man who has become the bane of our existence is beginning to cut a more likable figure.

There was always an element of honor.

Yes, there are caveats to City’s success, but there is little doubting Guardiola’s greatness as a manager.

With Jurgen Klopp set to leave Anfield in 2024, it seemed only natural that he would move on fairly quickly after the man he had stood alongside for so many years.

The truth is, the standards these two managers set will distort our idea of ​​what a typical title-winning point total looks like.

Arsenal Guardiola has been relegated to the Premier League this season, but they have done so with a maximum of 85 points – a climb from days Liverpool And City are pushing each other to 90 plus totals.

Liverpool have been relegated this season, but Guardiola’s move forward means the barrier to entry in the title race is likely not as high.

therefore, Liverpool Supporters should be reassured that a return to the top is not far off, especially with such talented players.

We won’t see those 2018-2022 levels again for a while, though, and we’ll always – at least in part – have Guardiola to thank for that.
