Manchester City Trent Alexander-Arnold’s claim that trophies’mean more’ to Liverpool than they do to Manchester City is met with a response from Pep Guardiola.

In a recent statement, Trent Alexander-Arnold delved into the contrasting values assigned to trophies by fans of Liverpool and Manchester City, drawing attention from Pep Guardiola.

As the Premier League title race intensifies, all eyes are on the upcoming showdown between Liverpool and City at Anfield this Sunday. With Klopp’s squad currently leading the league by a solitary point over City, and Arsenal closely trailing, anticipation for the pivotal clash is reaching fever pitch.

Alexander-Arnold’s remarks to FourFourTwo have added fuel to the fire, suggesting that Liverpool fans prioritize trophies more than their City counterparts. He attributed this divergence to differing approaches in squad building and financial circumstances between the two clubs.

These comments sparked responses from various City players, including Ruben Dias and Erling Haaland, who emphasized the importance of trophies to players and fans alike. Haaland reminisced about his joy in securing a treble with City in the previous season.

Guardiola briefly addressed Alexander-Arnold’s comments, extending well wishes for the Liverpool player’s speedy recovery from injury but refraining from further discussion.

During a pre-match press conference, Klopp weighed in on Alexander-Arnold’s statements, affirming that there was no issue with the defender’s remarks.
