Pep Guardiola: “If Mikel Arteta wins the Premier League, it will be just because he spent money, not because he worked hard & his players. It’s like Liverpool too. If Arne Slot wins it again, it will be because he spent a lot of money, right? Because it’s not just Manchester City that spend, right?”

The full quote

"I want to say to my friend Mikel Arteta, if he wins the title it will be just because he spent, not because he worked a lot or his players," Guardiola said. "It's like Liverpool. If Arne wins again, it will be because he spent a lot of money. Right?

"Because it's not just Man City that happened, right? So for all of them.

"Listen, for many, many years every club can do whatever he wants. You know? "I know how they've been treated is completely different, but what he [Arteta] wants to spend is because they want it and it's fine."
