Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, addressed the criticism aimed at his club regarding transfer spending, stating with sarcasm that City does not hold the top position in expenditures as often claimed, but rather ranks seventh among Premier League clubs in the last five years.
Guardiola emphasized that teams with higher spending should be closer to winning titles, asserting that success is not solely determined by financial investment but also by the effort put forth on the pitch.
Manchester City is currently performing well this season, sitting in second place in the Premier League while competing in the Champions League and the FA Cup across multiple fronts.
