Liverpool continues to make life difficult for Pep Guardiola as season begins

Liverpool has made the habit of making life difficult for Pep Guardiola in recent years.

And the Reds still played Wednesday with their latest achievements in the Champions League.

A 3-1 victory at Bayern Munich allowed Jurgen Klopp's team to qualify for the quarter-finals for the second year in a row.

It would also have upset Guardiola, who had been asked before the match, who he would support.

"I'm sorry for the English, but I want Bayern to pbad," said Guardiola, who spent three years leading the Bundesliga before joining City in 2016.

"I'm a big fan, I'm part of this club.

"I like Munich, Bayern and everyone else. I would like Bayern to pbad, but it will not be easy. "

Guardiola still had a reason to be upset by Liverpool's progress.

Of course, the Reds defeated City in the last eight stages of the competition last season. It will be a team that the leaders of the Premier League will be eager to avoid in Europe before competing for the national title.

The draw for the quarter-finals will take place Friday at 11am in Nyon.
