‘Will forever be salty’ – Man City Fans reacts as Klopp makes claim after hailing Pep Guardiola as world’s best manager

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has called Pep Guardiola the best manager in the world as he congratulated Manchester City on an “exceptional” title success.

Manchester United’s 2-1 defeat to Leicester on Tuesday night confirmed Guardiola’s third Premier League title and City’s fifth in the last decade as they succeeded Klopp’s Reds as champions.

Klopp believes that huge financial backing, coupled with some clever football appointments, have helped City become the most successful domestic English club of the last decade.

“A great achievement, congratulations,” said the liverpool boss.

“I texted Pep last night and already texted Ilkay (Gundogan, who played for Klopp at Borussia Dortmund), and really well done. A very difficult year for the whole world, for football teams as well. What they achieved so far this year is exceptional.

“When you bring together financial sources and football knowledge then you have a good chance to create something special. That’s obviously the case. City have an incredible squad and the best manager in the world, so that makes it a good recipe.

“It’s always a joy to play against them because it’s a massive challenge from a football point of view. You can beat them, but you have to be at your absolute top to do so. We can do that from time to time, but this year obviously not. Well deserved congratulations.”

These Klopp’s comments have got some Man City fans talking, who took to the social media to express yours thoughts and opinions.

Why can’t he just appreciate the greatness and give credit Pep.. No other manager can win the title from 13th.. Pep is the GOAT

Why would you be including “financial sources” when you know you’d be acknowledging “best manager”, oh Klopp, give it up completely

If he’s lucky he might just hold onto that Europa League spot with all his financial sources.

Genuine question I don’t definitively know the answer to; which club spent more on transfers last summer – last season’s champions or last seasons runners up? If it was last season’s champions then financial resources really have no place in Jurgens statement 👍
