'That's a Nice Quote, Eh?' - Pep Guardiola Takes Aim at Liverpool and Rivals over Man City Spending

Guardiola says six Premier League clubs with higher net spend over five years face pressure to win more trophies than Manchester City, which ranks seventh in spending.

  • On Wednesday, Pep Guardiola said six Premier League rivals face pressure after higher net spend over five years, while City rank seventh as they prepare for the Etihad semi-final.
  • After January's window, Guardiola emphasised City signed Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi, pushing their spending in the last 12 months to �430m.
  • Pep Guardiola said `We have a chance to make our fifth final in 10 years in the Carabao Cup` and prefers to start 2-0 up while players recover from a tough game at Spurs.
  • Guardiola said scrutiny should fall on Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle and Liverpool, as they now bear the onus to win trophies due to higher net spend.
  • Looking at the wider picture, six teams have outspent Manchester City over five years despite the club recouping hundreds of millions in player sales as they bid for their ninth Premier League title.
