Two days after losing to Real Madrid (3-1) and falling eliminated in the ‘playoffs’ of the Champions League, Pep Guardiola has again ‘face’.
On Sunday, in Premier, another ‘highlight’ awaits you. The Liverpool, leader and next PSG rival in Champions, visits Manchester Citysin (too much) margin of error: it is fourth, only one point above Bournemouth and Chelsea and with three more than the Newcastle.

The ‘Morbo’, however, will be on the benches and therefore, precisely, that is why they have asked Guardiola: what Liverpool is better: that of Arne Slot or Jürgen Klopp? Now, if they wanted to catch him, they haven’t succeeded.
“I will not answer that question. I have a lot of respect for Jürgen, I know where you want me to go and I will not get into your game,” he said.

The other ‘point’ was in the presence (or not) of Erling Haaland. The Norwegian, touched, did not even warm up in the Bernabéu. Nor did he clear many doubts: “I don’t know yet. Tomorrow we will know. Of course it is better to have Erling in the field, with him we are stronger.”

Without Akanji, without Stones – he can need to go through the operating room – and without Haaland, Guardiola is confident in putting liverpool in trouble: “We can compete against any team. The Premier is tremendously important for us and we have played very good games in the league” .
