Guardiola vs. Mourinho: The dispute over titles and fairness escalated!

Fenerbahce, Türkei - The rivalry between José Mourinho and Pep Guardiola reaches a new highlight. After Guardiola, the coach of Manchester City, caused a sensation at a press conference with a remark on the number of his Premier League championships, Mourinho vehemently countered. In an interview with the Turkish medium of Hurriyet, the Fenerbahce Trainer emphasized that his titles were won "fair and clean". His quotes illustrate the tense atmosphere between the two: "Guardiola said something about me. He won six titles, I three. But I won them fairly and cleanly," said Mourinho.

Mourinho showed that the current discussion is also related to Manchester City's possible misconduct. The association is suspected of violating the rules of the Financial FairPlay from 2009 to 2018. Mourinho continued: "I don't want to win while I have 150 open legal proceedings." Guardiola, who had to accept a 0-2 defeat against Liverpool last week, had pointed out the number of his titles from the fans when they started “You're Getted Sacked in the Morning” calls, and answered with six fingers.

The history

Mourinho, who was also often confronted with Guardiola at Manchester United during his time in the debate about titles and success, had previously referred to his own success story with three fingers raised. This rivalry not only stirs up the sporting competition, but also raises questions about fairness in football and the financial integrity of clubs. As the Sport portal ESPN reports, Mourinho has already said in the past that he hopes to receive a fourth Premier League medal if City is robbed of its title.
