Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola had the perfect response to Liverpool fans who were chanting “You’re getting sacked in the morning” during their recent match. As he walked off the pitch, Guardiola flashed six fingers at the crowd, signifying the six Premier League titles he’s won with Manchester City.¹ This defiant gesture was a clear message to the Liverpool fans that he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
Guardiola’s reaction was a testament to his confidence and conviction in his team’s abilities. Despite the loss to Liverpool, Manchester City remains a dominant force in the Premier League, and Guardiola’s track record speaks for itself.
It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time Guardiola has had to deal with criticism from opposing fans. In a previous match against Liverpool, he was seen begging Manchester City fans for more noise, saying “it didn’t happen” when asked about the lack of atmosphere.
Guardiola’s rivalry with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is well-documented, with the two managers having faced each other numerous times over the years. Despite their on-field rivalry, Guardiola has expressed his respect for Klopp, citing him as one of his toughest opponents.
