Liverpool was confirmed as Premier League champions Sunday, much for the delight of his followers. Greeting messages were presented for the 20 times English champions, including the man who has been regularly his nememasis for the last decade.
Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool was runner -up in Man City of Pep Guardiola on several occasions, but this season they managed to get the best of them, and all the others from the Premier League. And the achievement that did not go unnoticed by the former manager of Barcelona and Bayern in Munich.
Pep Guardiola praises Liverpool for the victory of the Premier League title
Talking to his press conference after the party (via The mirror) Following the victory of Man City 2-0 on the Nottingham Forest at his FA CUP semi-final in Wembley, Guardiola issued a congratulation message to Liverpool, while he also issued his hope that his side will be able to challenge the title next season.
“Before starting, on behalf of me and the whole club, we want to congratulate Liverpool or his victory on the Premier League. He is well deserved.
“They are a great team. For a year they will keep the title and we hope that next season we can be better to compete until the end, which this season was not possible. So congratulations to Liverpool.”
It has certainly been a hard season for Man City, although a victory over Crystal Palace in the FA CUP final next month would restore some pride for Guardiola and his side. There is no doubt that they will fight at the top of the table in the coming years, especially because there are expected to have significant changes in their workforce during the next summer transfer window.
But for the moment, they will focus on ensuring that they also end up within the first five places of the Premier League, which would be a return to the champion league standings.
