Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola insists his players prefer to play at Anfield with full of supporters more than they were able to win last season without crowds.

City have picked up just one point from Guardiola’s four games at Anfield. Before they beat Jurgen Klopp 4-1 last February. This was the first victory here since May 2003.

“I’m delighted at Anfield. Back on the field again And we can go there to play. It’s good that people keep coming back. And we can enjoy the great atmosphere there,” said Pep.

“Hopefully we can cope well. I’m pretty sure the players prefer to play with the fans at Anfield more than not. Everything is more lively, it’s difficult. I don’t know why we haven’t won at Anfield for over 18 years.

“In my five years it was because they were a great team. The crowd definitely helped, as in Paris they were still cheering even though we did dominate some of the game. that happened even in german When we have to go to Dortmund or Barcelona to visit Madrid, the pressure is on the fans.”

When asked if one of the reasons Manchester City won at Anfield Yes, last season about the lack of supporters on the pitch, Guardiola laughed and replied: “You ruined my happiness. Because you don’t give credit for what we did last season. I will never forgive you!”
