Pep Guardiola has responded to comments made by Mikel Arteta following Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Manchester City. Arteta, who was Guardiola's assistant from 2016 to 2019, hinted that he had inside knowledge about City’s operations, stating, "I have all the information. So I know."
Guardiola, clearly taken aback, urged Arteta to clarify his remarks, especially since some have speculated that Arteta could be alluding to Manchester City's ongoing legal troubles regarding the 115 charges for alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules. Guardiola quipped, "Maybe it's about the 115 charges. Maybe he knows something about that, or maybe something else," challenging his former assistant to be more specific about his claims.
The exchange highlights a growing tension between the two managers, despite their previously close relationship.
