Guardiola names the toughest EPL side he ever faced and it is not Man Utd or Chelsea

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola in a recent statement has revealed the most challenging premier league side he has faced.

Guardiola, in his statement, named Liverpool as the most challenging side has ever faced in the English domestic league.

This is coming after the Citizens had defeated Man Utd in a 2-0 scoreline, compared to Liverpool, who had thrashed the same Man Utd in a 5-0 scoreline a few weeks ago.

When asked to compare and contrast the two performances, Guardiola said at his post-match press conference after Man City defeated Man United on Saturday: “I know my admiration for Liverpool and the work of Jurgen. It’s the most formidable opponent.

“Still, they are after that six or seven years. The first season they struggled a little bit to put the team there, but they settled the team and bought the right players that they needed.”

While Chelsea are seated at the top of the EPL table, they are perhaps not as dangerous as Liverpool, who have one of the toughest forwards in Europe.

Liverpool and Man City are seated right behind Chelsea on the log table.
