Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola again praised Txiki Begiristain after victory over Liverpool.

Julian Alvarez scored in the 4-1 win and Guardiola thanked his sporting director for signing the Argentine.

He said, “Tactics is players. Erling is something special. Julian is something special too," Guardiola declared.

“The vision in that second goal to know Riyad is there.

“He was involved in the first three goals. He was so clever. He played with the World Cup champions. If you are not good, you cannot play in the world champion team.

“Thank you so much to the club and Txiki (director of football Begiristain). He is a young player. Of course, he played a really good game."
