When he heard what Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had to say about him, Pep Guardiola broke down in tears.

Pep Guardiola responded to Jurgen Klopp’s last game in charge of Liverpool with emotion.

In an emotional farewell speech, Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, praised Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool.

The two teams renewed their rivalry, which began in the Bundesliga, in the Premier League and fought at the greatest level for more than five years. Before Klopp broke the Reds’ monopoly on the top flight in England in 2020, City narrowly defeated them to take the title.

After making his shocking statement in January, the German’s final game as manager of Anfield took place on Sunday. With a 2-0 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Liverpool wrapped up an emotional week and afternoon. Meanwhile, City secured their fourth consecutive Premier League title with a 3-1 victory over West Ham United down East Lancashire Road.

When asked if Klopp encouraged an emotional reaction from the Spaniard, Guardiola gave his opinion. He said, “I will miss him a lot.” “Jurgen elevated me to a new level as a manager and had a significant impact on my life. I believe we have a great deal of respect for one another.”

“I just wanted to say thank you very much for your kind remarks, but this club has given and provided me with a lot of things in the past. If not, I can’t accomplish it on my own; I’m modest enough to realise that. He was a fierce rival in my life and frequently assisted me with his squad.

Many times, I didn’t find the strategy I used to punish him that I could with other teams. It has been very hard with him.

“I hope his last game was special for him; he deserves it. I wish him all the best. The pride of being a Liverpool fan is immense, and he made Liverpool a part of it. Recognise his stamp. People sometimes say, “Well, winning more titles is better,” which is true, but it’s not the main focus.

“They have personalities, and once they settle somewhere, they stay there forever. I apologise, but Jurgen and Liverpool will be present along with the Shankly and Paisley families.”

Even though Liverpool lost the Premier League title match, Klopp’s farewell tour was successful as they defeated Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final.

When thinking back on his competition with City, Klopp was full of praise for his adversary, even though East Manchester was facing 115 charges from the Premier League for financial irregularities.

“Everyone knows about the 115 charges, but I have no clue what that means, I just know the number,” stated the leaving Liverpool manager. It is crucial to remember that Pep Guardiola is the greatest manager in the world, regardless of what has transpired at Manchester City.

“That club doesn’t win the league four times in a row if you put any other manager in charge of it.” That is his guys’ responsibility. Is it a sign that they can do everything they want? No. However, I have no idea what they did, if anything, and I’m not here to claim that they did.

“We’ll see.” Of course, if City is guilty, I would like to find out eventually. Everyone is curious to find out. However, I’ll be elsewhere. I don’t care about these things because Pep’s quality makes all the difference. We’ll see. It’s not my concern, and I’m happy with our current situation and our accomplishments.”
