Pep Guardiola marked his 1000th career match as manager with statement victory guiding Manchester City to commanding 3-0 win over Liverpool on Sunday in matchweek 11 of the Premier League 2025 /26.

"Don’t overrate me — the players deserve it"

Speaking to the BBC after the match, the Spanish tactician said:

"Listen, I know I’m good but don’t exaggerate it. The players deserve the praise for this win"

Guardiola whose career has spanned Barcelona, Bayern Munich & City, reached his 1000th game as coach in typically self-effacing style using the moment to celebrate his squad’s commitment.

Doku dazzles as City dominate

Asked about Jeremy Doku’s breathtaking performance — which saw the Belgian winger torment Liverpool’s backline throughout — Guardiola laughed off the idea that he had taught the youngster his trademark dribbling skills:

"Do you think I taught him how to dribble? That’s pure talent — he was amazing today against one of the toughest defenders in the Premier League"

Doku’s flair and directness were key to City’s dominance as goals from Phil Foden, Erling Haaland and own goal sealed comfortable win at the Etihad Stadium.

A milestone to remember

"I’m grateful to the players for giving me this win. I’m happy that my 1000th match came here, against team I deeply respect like Liverpool"

Title race tightens

With this result, Manchester City moved to 22 point, level with Arsenal but trailing the league leaders only on goal difference.
