‘Did you have fun?’ – Pep and Poch both enjoyed City-Chelsea clash

Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino praised the “world’s best league” after the exhilarating conclusion of Chelsea’s remarkable 4-4 draw against Manchester City on Sunday.

The match at Stamford Bridge exemplified why the Premier League captivates millions globally, featuring both teams exchanging leads in a thrilling contest.

With numerous twists and turns, City surrendered the lead three times, and Chelsea, in turn, squandered an advantage.

The climax was particularly dramatic as Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, facing his former club, converted a last-minute penalty, adding the ultimate twist to the encounter.

Despite missing an opportunity to extend their lead at the top, Guardiola expressed satisfaction with the classic match. By securing a point, City managed to establish a one-point lead over second-placed Liverpool in the Premier League standings.

“Did you have fun? It was a good advertisement and an entertaining game for the Premier League,” the City boss said.

“It was a tight game. Right now, I think it was a fair resuit. Both teams played to win.

“We didn’t make perfect decisions after our goal of 4-3. It is the first time for me at Stamford Bridge in many years we created that many chances, but they created as well.”

Chelsea manager Pochettino agreed with Guardiola’s assessment of the eight-goal thriller.

“We wanted to win and wanted to be protagonists in the game. A game like today shows why the Premier League is the best in the world,” he said.
