"A reminder for next season? No, it's a reminder to see how good Manchester City is, said Reds coach Jurgen Klopp after the game. I really didn't need it, because I knew it before. The surprise in a Championship with the Citizens is to see another champion team, because when you see their quality, it's not normal. We will see how the next season will go. "
Pep Guardiola, for his part, could be satisfied. " I am very happy. We must still congratulate this team. You had to beat the champions, with all the quality they have, their incredible concentration. I saw them during the guard of honor. They were concentrated, you could hear them shouting, cheering, helping each other. They wanted to beat us, to honor their title. And to beat them 4-0, with as many opportunities, defending as well, it's great. "
Above all, this victory allows City to now count a comfortable 11-point lead over its chaser, Leicester. Second place will not escape them.
