The Reds boss has won eight of their 15 meetings, with Guardiola coming out on top five times

“I’m not going to judge the game on the previous game.“I don’t count the number of times I beat managers and feel how special I am. I don’t play against Jurgen or Jurgen against me. Our teams play. “He beats me, I beat him. I won leagues and cups, I lost some cups.”3
