Guardiola hits sack taunts for 6 Premier League titles

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola reminded Liverpool fans of his six Premier League titles in the past seven seasons after he was taunted towards the end of Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Anfield.

Guardiola was met with chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning” from Liverpool fans after City suffered a sixth defeat in seven games to fall 11 points behind the Reds at the top of the table.

The 53-year-old manager recently extended his contract at the Etihad to 2027 but has said he will not overstay his welcome if results do not improve.

Guardiola, though, could not resist hitting back by showing six fingers, one for each of his title triumphs.

Two of those came by denying Liverpool by a single point in 2018/19 and 2021/22.

However, defeat continued Guardiola’s miserable record at Anfield.

EPL: Again, Man City lose to Liverpool at Anfield

Speaking after the game, Guardiola said: “I’m so proud of my six Premier League titles.

“I didn’t expect Anfield to say I will be sacked in the morning… but it’s fine, it is what it is. When you win, you laugh.”

City have lost in six of their 10 visits under the Catalan, with their only win coming behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic in 2021.

Meanwhile, Guardiola said City have to reset and start from scratch after the latest defeat to Liverpool.

The former Barcelona boss said: “I congratulate Liverpool, they deserve the victory and we accept the situation right now and we’ll build from that.

“We’ll reset and start from zero. We’ll see what happens by the end of the season.”
