Jurgen Klopp to Pep Guardiola on reaching 1,000 matches: “Pep, my friend! Welcome to the 1,000 Club! I can’t believe you look that young and you’ve already reached this absolutely incredible landmark. I probably don’t have to say I reached it 81 games ago, but… That’s probably the only time I arrived before you!
“It was a pleasure and honour to face you that often during our career. The most difficult games, but the games I enjoyed most because you were and are an inspiration to all of us. The way you understand football is pretty much second-to-none, the desire you show every day is absolutely outstanding.
“Another legendary club you’re a member of now, on to the next! All the best, speak soon, have a wonderful celebration – maybe with a glass of red wine!” @SkySportsPL
Erling Haaland on Pep Guardiola: “Since I came to City he’s been helping me with movements and trying to get into situations where I can score goals.
It’s Pep Guardiola – he’s a genius. So far, it’s been a good journey! There’s a reason why he’s been winning so much, because of his dedication and the hard work.”
Pep Guardiola becomes the first manager to win 700+ games in his first 1000 matches.
