Pep Guardiola and press conferences are a match made in heaven. The Manchester City boss has become an ace in replying to the tricky and often double-edged questions thrown at him by reporters. In a recent interaction with the press, Guardiola gave a hilarious response to whether people liked watching his football team.
Manchester City have quite literally killed all of their competition in the League in recent years. After claiming their fist title in the Pep era in the 2017/18 season, they have gone on to lift the Premier League in every season, except one.
As the Cityzens strengthen their claim to a record fourth consecutive title, it isn’t surprising that rival fans aren’t very fond of them. The Spaniard’s blunt response to the question had reporters gasping for air.
F***! I don't know. You like? Sometimes. Pep Guardiola said in a recent press conference

All jokes aside, Guardiola’s dominance in the League is something rarely seen in the PL. According to several fans, City have taken away the excitement and unpredictability of the League. Man City will lift the PL title if they win their final game against West Ham United.
The Premier League season is coming to an eventful close. Manchester City, who are leading the title race by a two-point margin will claim a fourth consecutive title if they win their final game against West Ham United. Once again, Manchester City have their fate in their own hands, even though Pep Guardiola acknowledges that it won’t be an easy task.
I have the feeling it will be an Aston Villa game. We'd love to be 3-0 up but it won't happen. I'm ready for a tough, tough game and I want to put that in the minds of players. Pep Guardiola said in a press conference
City needed late goals from Ilkay Gundogan to secure the League title last season after doing 2-0 down to Villa. In 2012, Sergio Aguero ‘s iconic last-minute goal secured the crown for the Cityzens.
@ManCity go into their final match of the season in top spot, but Pep Guardiola isn't getting complacent ahead of their game against West Ham.

And if you needed a reminder of how that match went against Aston Villa, you may want to look in the replies… pic.twitter.com/8pqVBgEdcn
Guardiola also admitted that winning a fourth consecutive League title will definitely help in his team getting the respect they deserve on a global level. After the game against West Ham, City can also claim the FA Cup if they overcome local rivals Manchester United in the final.
