"We took that point". Guardiola has spoken out about the battle with Liverpool at Anfield

Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola commented on the draw in the match against Liverpool (1:1) away from home in a post-match interview with Sky Sports.

"We started really well but they are incredible team. We had our moments, they had theirs. The way they play it is not easy. We take that point. First half we had momentum, lots of chances first half. And after we gave away the penalty, we suffered. It was a good game for the spectators.

De Bruyne being annoyed after substitution? That's good. Have a chance next game to prove it. We need a player who keeps the ball. Its not about pressing. Kovacic is really good at that. We were happy with Kevin. It's not a problem. We're fine.

I know how difficult it is at Anfield. It is difficult at Etihad too, Liverpool have not won there in eight years. We prove, both sides we are incredible competitors. I would prefer a win but they prove for many years the quality they have. It was good from everyone."

Jurgen Klopp? We wouldn't need a hug to show that [respect]. He defends his club, I defend mine. Our history speaks for itself. We still have 10 games to go, many things can happen." Guardiola said.

With 63 points, Manchester City currently occupies the third position in the Premier League standings, trailing Liverpool and Arsenal by just one point. In the next round of the championship, the Citizens will face Arsenal on March 31st.
