During a match against Liverpool, Pep Guardiola made a memorable controversial gesture. He held up six fingers to the crowd, emphasizing the number of Premier League titles he has won. This was quickly compared to José Mourinho, who had previously shown three fingers in a press conference to highlight his own tally of trophies.
Details: At a recent press conference, Guardiola responded to the comparison with the following remark:
“Will this gesture mark the end of my era? I hope not! In the end, maybe we are similar... But he won three, and I won six.”
However, Mourinho didn’t waste much time responding, saying:
“He told me something yesterday. He won six trophies, and I won three, but I won them honestly and cleanly...
I don’t want to win with 150 lawsuits.”
Reminder: Manchester City is currently facing 115 charges for breaching financial fair play rules. Earlier, Liverpool manager Arne Slot made a witty remark on the subject.
