The Red Club was crowned champion of England this week, after losing its direct chase City to its hosts Chelsea, 1-2, in Stage 31.
Liverpool moved 23 points ahead of the leaders, with only 7 games remaining.
Guardiola, who led City to the league title in the past two seasons, stressed that Liverpool, led by German Jurgen Klopp, “deserves honor”, especially lining up his players as a “guard of honor” for the opposing team players as they entered the field.
He said: “Of course we will do that. We will salute the guard of honor, of course,” that salutation, which sometimes represents a dilemma, and may cause sensitivities among the fans in most major tournaments.
He continued in a press statement, Saturday: “We always host Liverpool in an amazing way when they come to our stadium. They cannot doubt, and of course we will do it (this time too) because they deserve it.”
The Spaniard, who has been supervising City since 2016, examined the performance of the team in the domestic league during the 2019-2020 season, rejecting any suggestion that its players did not show a desire to win the title for the third time in a row.
Guardiola stressed that “a team that has won 8 titles in the past three years (City) has a passion. In every game, in every competition, wherever it is. No one in this country can say” the opposite.
Guardiola led his team twice to win the Premier League title, the FA Cup title, the League Cup title 3 times, and the Community Shield title twice.
City and Guardiola achieved in the 2018-2019 season an unprecedented local triple through the League, Cup and League Cup.
“Doing what we did in the toughest league in the world is very difficult, but we cannot win all the time. There was an exceptional team, and when the team is exceptional, what I am calling is learning from and congratulating him,” the former coach of Barcelona and Bayern Munich continued. It is simple. “
Liverpool achieved a record achievement this season, winning the league title in its favor, with 7 stages remaining.
