What Happened?
During Man City’s 2-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield, Liverpool fans chanted, “You’re getting sacked in the morning.” Guardiola responded by raising six fingers, a reminder of his six Premier League titles as City manager.
Guardiola’s Dig at Mourinho
In a post-match interview with Sky Sports, Guardiola commented on the gesture, referencing Mourinho’s famous three-finger celebration from his time at Chelsea.
“Jose Mourinho did this to show he won three Premier League titles. I’ve won six,” Guardiola said.
He added:
“I don’t even remember those three titles he mentioned. But respect to him and all the other managers. People compare this to when Jose was at Manchester United. I hope it’s not the same for me. We both work with similar passion.”
The Result and What’s Next
The loss to Liverpool marked City’s fourth defeat of the season, dropping them to fifth place in the league table, 11 points behind leaders Liverpool. Guardiola’s team will aim to bounce back in their next game against Nottingham Forest at the Etihad Stadium.
Despite the setback, Guardiola’s reminder of his achievements highlights his confidence in his team and his legacy in the Premier League
