"Manchester City” coach Pep Guardiola can sometimes annoy local journalists.

Before an important battle against the Arsenal team, the Catalan was asked about his big rivals' spending on the transfer market.

P. Guardiola said: "If Mikel Arteta wins the Premier League, it will only be because he spent a lot of money, not because of hard work or his players.”

The same goes for Liverpool. If Arne Slot wins again, it will only be because of the money, right?

After all, it’s not like Manchester City is the only one throwing money around, is it?” – P. Guardiola asked rhetorically with a smile.
