Yes, I know another City/Pep thread...bear with me.
Has there ever been a team so successful yet has no real rival? Im talking about the way Viera and Keane hated each other, the way that the great Barca team and Madrid hated each other. There should be another team/manager who absolutely hates City and Pep's guts but I just don't see it.
When I look at it I see:
Consistent Challenger/Klopp = Seemingly a fan of Pep and enjoys the way his team play football. He cant bring himself to hate them
Current Title Challenger/Arteta = Peps student
Local rivals/ETH = Basically Peps student and again has no bone to pick with Pep
I don't feel Pep and his players have any real mental fatigue from these title wins. There isn't a single manager in this league that could rival the way Jose went at Pep in the 2010s. And honestly, without Jose doing that, Pep probably stays in Barcelona for a decade and wins 4/5 CL's.
I could be wrong...
