Pep Guardiola said “I didn’t expect it from the people from Liverpool” after he was goaded that he was going to be sacked during Manchester City’s 2-0 defeat at Anfield.

I quite liked Pep Guardiola’s six fingers gesture to the fans. It was just banter, I quite liked it. There is a mutual respect there. He knows, he’s never been into a stadium in the world and witnessed an atmosphere like Anfield. He has said that himself. At the end he clapped the fans and they applauded him back.

He then repeated the same gesture at halftime as he applauded the travelling fans.Guardiola has a storied history with Liverpool's former boss Jurgen Klopp. Klopp only won the title once in 2019, with Guardiola guiding City to the title in other seasons.
