Guardiola now believes his side must make amends in the upcoming matches to effectively challenge Liverpool for the title.
“We are in September, OK? Congratulations Liverpool, you are the champions. We’re in September, what do you have to do? We’ll recover, train and come back," Guardiola jokingly said according to UK Sun.
