You’ve three more titles, but I’m not facing 150 lawsuits – Mourinho hits Guardiola

Fenerbahce manager, Jose Mourinho, has hit back at Pep Guardiola after the Manchester City boss said he has won twice as many Premier League titles as the Portuguese.

Guardiola held up six fingers to Liverpool fans last weekend after they 2-0 at Anfield, indicating the number of titles he has won.

When he was asked if he could suffer a similar fate to former Chelsea manager Mourinho, who called for “respect” after winning three English top-flight titles, Guardiola made reference to his superior record.

Guardiola told reporters: “I hope not in my case. He won three, I won six but we are the same as that. We are together in those situations.

Mourinho has now claimed he won “fairly and cleanly”, in reference to City facing 115 charges for alleged financial fair play breaches.

He said: “Guardiola said something to me yesterday. He won six trophies and I won three, but I won fairly and cleanly. If I lost, I want to congratulate my opponent because he was better than me. I don’t want to win by dealing with 150 lawsuits.”
