Pep Guardiola Joins in the Celebration, sends LFC a powerful message
Arne Slot’s Liverpool side delivered a stunning 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, clinching the 2024-25 Premier League title in style – marking the club’s 20th league championship in its storied history. This impressive triumph came with four matches still left to play, showcasing their dominance and consistency throughout the season.
With this victory, Liverpool has reclaimed the Premier League crown for the first time since the 2019-20 campaign, breaking a four-year streak of title wins by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. The Reds’ commanding performance this season has proven that they are once again the team to beat in English football.
In the wake of this monumental achievement, Guardiola, ever gracious, took a moment to offer his heartfelt congratulations to Liverpool. Following Manchester City’s 2-0 win over Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-finals on Sunday, he began his press conference with a message of respect for the newly crowned champions.
“On behalf of myself and everyone at Manchester City, I want to extend our sincere congratulations to Liverpool Football Club on their Premier League title win,” Guardiola said. “They truly deserve it, no question about that – they are an exceptional team.”
Guardiola continued with a nod to the competitive nature of the Premier League, acknowledging that while City’s dominant run of four consecutive titles has come to an end, Liverpool’s resurgence is a testament to their quality and resilience.
“Like we experienced in the last few seasons, I’m sure Liverpool will be aiming to defend this title, and we’ll strive to be even better next year, to challenge them all the way to the finish,” he said. “This season, we couldn’t quite make it happen, but Liverpool have been phenomenal, and they deserve all the praise for this incredible achievement.”
With that, Guardiola wrapped up his message, reinforcing the spirit of sportsmanship and mutual respect that is ever-present in the Premier League. “Liverpool, congratulations once again,” he said, acknowledging LFC remarkable win.
It’s clear that while City may have been dethroned, the fierce competition between these two football giants is far from over. The battle for supremacy in English football continues, and next season promises to be even more thrilling.
