Jose Mourinho has not taken too kindly to Pep Guardiola’s recent comments.
Guardiola was seen raising six fingers to the Anfield crowd after their defeat to title rivals Liverpool in reference to his Premier League title haul.
Mourinho, similarly held up three fingers to the Tottenham crowd during a defeat in the latter days of his Manchester United tenure in 2018.

Guardiola was asked if he could suffer the same fate as Mourinho did at Old Trafford, to which he replied: ‘I hope not in my case… He won three, I won six.. but we are the same like that.
‘We are together in the those situations. To make our fans know that we are much, much better than the people that sing that [Liverpool fans singing sacked in the morning]’.
‘It [the gesture] was just to make our fans feel that what we have done is extraordinary. I want to prove that we are an incredible football club. Sooner or later it’s going to be the end but I will try to extend as much as possible for the best of my club.’
Mourinho issues scathing response to the Spaniard’s jibe
He replied: ‘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.’
