Guardiola refuses to rule rivals out of title race

Last weekend was a huge shift in the Premier League title race as Liverpool and Arsenal both lost, effectively handing Manchester City the upper hand.

City boss Pep Guardiola however wasn't buying any of that, especially with regards to Liverpool. "I admire Liverpool. Whatever happens this season, I admire Liverpool".

"When I said Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool always has been, it’s that, it’s the team that faced us, the real, real contender that faced us face to face, goes against you, six/seven years".

Jurgen Klopp is of course leaving after this season signalling the end of a legendary PL rivalry.
