The victory over Liverpool also marked Guardiola’s 1000th match as a coach throughout his career. He called this result the “best gift” from his players.
“The players gave me a wonderful gift with a performance like this against the defending champions,” he said proudly. “We had to perform well, and things went perfectly. All the players were at the highest level.”
“Defensively, we were outstanding. We know how dangerous Liverpool are with Mo [Salah] on the front lines, as well as quality [Dominik] Szoboszla dan [Florian] Wirtz. But we have incredible energy at home. Playing at home and winning is a good preparation going into the international break.”
“Gigi [Donnarumma] carry out necessary rescue. Second full-back look amazing. Our midfielders provide a lot of control with passing and the tempo of the game. And of course, Jeremy’s threat on the wing with Erling is really great.”
