- Pep Guardiola has nothing bad to say about Liverpool's performance against Barca.
- He thinks the game was 'incredibly good'.
- And Man City manager also doesn't believe Barca's win vs LFC will help him in the title race.
- Pep also names the reason for Barca's victory - Leo Messi.
Barcelona brilliantly beat Liverpool 3-0 in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
The Reds' main competitor for the Premier League title Pep Guardiola was there to witness that tough moment for Liverpool. He watched the game from the Camp Nou stands supporting Barca as a regular Cule.
Barcelona legend does not believe Liverpool's defeat will throw them off course right before the end of the season because their performance was good:
"I don't think so, the game was incredibly good, both sides," Pep told reporters on Friday. "Liverpool were outstanding and a good performance from both. I enjoyed watching it," Guardiola said.
"I don't think it will affect them, I think it will be not easy at Newcastle but they'll be well prepared to win there."
And the reason for the Champions League result is obvious for Pep - it's just Messi:
"Yes [it's Messi].
"I think Barca defended really well, they beat an incredible team. Liverpool must be proud of what they did in the most difficult stadium, they played with personality and courage. Both teams played the way they did and they deserve it."
