Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has thanked Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp in an emotional parting message.

The two sides battled at the highest level for over five years as the pair rekindled their rivalry, which ignited in the Bundesliga, in the Premier League. City pipped the Reds to the summit of England’s top flight by the smallest of margins before Klopp ended their stranglehold in 2020.

Liverpool capped an emotional week and afternoon with a comfortable 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, meanwhile down East Lancashire Road, City picked up their fourth successive Premier League crown – clinching the title after a 3-1 win over West Ham United.
