Transcript

00:00 I don't know if you're aware, Trent Alexander-Arnold has said that, in his opinion,

00:05 winning trophies means more to Liverpool than it does to Manchester City.

00:11 I don't know what you feel about that, but there's also an implication that

00:16 it doesn't matter to City, it doesn't mean as much because you spend lots of money.

00:22 I'm just wondering what your observations about that whole situation is.

00:25 I wish him a speedy recovery, he comes back to the pitch as soon as possible.

00:29 I'm just wondering.

00:31 Pep, do you get tired by this accusation that it's still about money here?

00:46 I know you talk about you couldn't have won without the money,

00:49 but this kind of attitude from Trent and the comments that have been made this week?

00:57 Speedy recovery for him and he can come back as soon as possible.

01:00 Your players have had a bit more to say, Erling Haaland said that,

01:05 effectively, because they don't know what it's like to win a treble,

01:08 he can't understand what that feels like, and Ruben Diaz has said similar.

01:12 Are you happy to hear your players make those comments?

01:15 Does it show they've got a fight for what's safe this season?

01:17 I'm so happy with my players all the time.

01:19 All the time. So many, many years.

01:22 But does it show they've got a real fight for everything this season?

01:26 They don't want to let an opponent potentially try and throw them...

01:30 Do you think we're going to fight because Erling and Ruben talk?

01:33 Without these talks, we will not fight.
