EPL: You spent money too, so you should also be competing for titles – Guardiola mocks rivals

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, insisted that the club’s success is “not boring” or due to financial strength.

Guardiola also took a swipe at other Premier League giants for not competing despite spending money.

City are in pursuit of a historic fourth successive English league title.

They could also achieve a domestic league and FA Cup double in consecutive seasons.

Guardiola, speaking ahead of Tuesday’s trip to Tottenham, highlighted that other big spenders such as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal should have beaten them to silverware.

He said: “It’s not boring. It’s difficult.

“Before it was the money. For that reason, Manchester United should have won all the titles, Chelsea – all the titles, Arsenal – all the titles.

“They spent as much money in the last five years as us. They should be there. They are not there.”
