In this sense, the Spanish technician justified the purchase of Jack Grealish for 100 million pounds arguing that his team has also made sales of major players for a total value of 60 million pounds.

Manchester City fell in their debut by the minimum against Tottenham. For their part, Liverpool did their homework and won comfortably against Norwich, the team that will be Guardiola’s next rival on matchday two.
