Pep Guardiola hailed as obsessive genius behind Man City winning machine

That meant Liverpool’s long wait for a first league title since 1990 continued despite the Reds posting the third-highest Premier League points tally at 97 after they beat Wolves 2-0 on Sunday. “Manchester City could buy great players, good enough to take them up the mountain, but they could never stay there. Because you cannot buy hunger, the sustaining daily hunger that drove the greatest teams of other eras,” said the Independent.

“Nothing underscores the brilliance of Pep Guardiola’s team more than the presence of Liverpool a short neck behind. Liverpool are, without doubt, one of the greatest teams the competition has ever seen,” said the Daily Mail. “Encapsulating this campaign is a battle of superlatives. Liverpool were amazingly good. Incredibly, City were even better.”

Klopp pointed to City’s financial power, backed by the club’s Abu Dhabi owners, as a principal reason why they will not be easy to overhaul. However, unlike Manchester United, who ended the season as close to the relegation zone as they were to City, 32 points behind the champions in sixth, City have invested their money wisely.
