Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Liverpool will receive an honor guard when they travel to Man City next week.
The Reds will come to Etihad as champions after Guardiola’s men lost to Chelsea on Thursday night and the Catalan says his team will give Liverpool the welcome they deserve.
But the head of the City says that next season his team will be ready to try to fight the Premier League crown from Liverpool’s reach.
When asked if the Reds will receive an honor guard, he said, “Of course we will.”
“We are going to do the honor guard, of course.
“We always receive Liverpool, when they come to our house, in an incredible way. They cannot complain.”
“We are going to do it because they deserve it.”
City beat Liverpool by 23 points, losing their crown to the Reds a year after an extraordinary title race that saw Guardiola’s men lead Liverpool to the title with 98 points.
Having lost eight times in the league this season, the former Barcelona boss admits his team has “suffered” but hinted that he has the solution to his problems.
He said: “We congratulate Liverpool on an extraordinary league they won and we advance. I know we can do it.”
“We have an incredible challenge to face.
“What we have to do is learn. I think we know the reason why we suffered this season and we will try to attack next season.”
