“Winning at home in front of our people is the best. The moment we equalized, we had the feeling we had the chance to score the third. The magnitude of the achievement is related to the magnitude of our rival, and I have never seen a team like Liverpool in my life. Congratulations to Liverpool – they have made us better and better each week.” Guardiola said
Manchester City will face Liverpool in their first fixture for next season in the community shield. City’s triumph also ended Liverpool’s aim for the quadruple after the Reds won the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup.
