Pep Guardiola's comment about Nottingham Forest has caused a stir.
Pep Guardiola talked up Nottingham Forest and their European history ahead of Manchester City's but fans think the Catalan was just trolling.in their first Champions League game of the season on Tuesday.Julian Alvarez bagged a brace, before Rodri sealed a 3-1 win for the treble-winners. City are of course the holders of the competition after finally lifting the trophy with a 1-0 victory over Inter Milan in Istanbul.
Ahead of the visit of Forest, the 52-year-old brought up that European record in his most recent press conference.He told reporters:"We have Nottingham Forest. Two Champions League winners. They have won more Champions Leagues than us. This is the truth, I am not joking."Forest fans won't be able to use the"Champions of Europe you'll never sing that" chant but fans were in agreement that Guardiola was doing a little bit of mocking.
City battered Forest 6-0 in the fixture last year before drawing 1-1 at the City Ground, with Chris Wood's late strike cancelling out Bernardo Silva's goal. SPORTbible are on WhatsApp!
