Pep Guardiola sends congratulations message to Liverpool after Premier League title win
Speaking to the press after City’s win against Forest, Guardiola issued a congratulations message to Liverpool on their Premier League title win, with the former FC Barcelona manager praising the Reds for being the best side in England this season.
Guardiola said: “On behalf of myself and all the club we want to congratulate Liverpool on the Premier League. Well deserved, fantastic team. Hopefully next year we are going to be better. But Liverpool, congratulations.”
City’s form has been a key reason behind Liverpool’s cruise to the Premier League title, with the Manchester giants falling off big time as Arsenal also fell by the wayside as Arne Slot took firm control of top spot in the standings.
Yet Guardiola’s message showed that the likes of City are impressed with what they’ve seen from Liverpool this season, and the Reds will be looking to go one better next year by retaining the title and going all the way in a domestic cup competition.
Liverpool can go one better next season under Arne Slot
Slot has been a dream appointment for Liverpool this season, with the Reds claiming the Premier League title in a feat that nobody would have expected during the summer after the Dutchman’s appointment.
Yet going into next season, Liverpool will feel confident that they can go one better with Slot at the helm, with big signings in the pipeline and a full squad overhaul expected as the next stage of the squad’s evolution begins.
Indeed, Slot has become a Liverpool legend in his first year at Anfield, and the former Feyenoord coach will be determined to bring in the right new signings and to make the changes needed so the Reds can compete once again for everything.
