‘Trolling ourselves now’, ‘He’s lost the plot’ – Man City fans react as Pep Guardiola makes Real Madrid joke after astonishing turnaround to win the Premier League

Pep Guardiola joked that he had phoned Real Madrid for advice on how to score quickfire goals as Manchester City produced an astonishing turnaround to win the Premier League.

Things looked to be going Liver’s way when Matty Cash and Philippe Coutinho gave Villa a 2-0 lead. However, Pep Guardiola’s Blues were not to be denied.

The Sky Blues needed five minutes of magic to overturn Villa’s lead and make sure the Premier League trophy took its place in the City cabinet this season.

Ilkay Gundogan gave City hope in the 76th minute before a fine strike by Rodri sent the Etihad Stadium into raptures. But the best was yet to come as Gundogan scored to complete the turnaround with just nine minutes of normal time remaining.

The goals were needed in the end to lift the title as Liverpool ended up 3-1 victors thanks to late goals from Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson.

Guardiola was at a loss to explain how City turned their game around, and likened it to their devastating Champions League exit when they conceded two goals in the final minutes of normal time in their second leg before letting another in the opening stage of extra time.

“I called Real Madrid and they gave me good advice!” he said on the turnaround. “No explanation in Madrid, no explanation today. It’s momentum. Sometimes it’s nice to live these kinds of situations. I had the feeling this will help us to be stronger next season.

These Guardiola’s comments were shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
