REVEALED: Jurgen Klopp has triumphed more over Pep Guardiola in head-to-head meetings, while the Spaniard has lifted more trophies… but how else do the rival managers compare in terms of success?

Sunday’s enthralling clash between Liverpool and Manchester City marked the end of an era, as Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp met for the last time in English football.

With Klopp leaving Anfield at the end of the season, the 1-1 draw was the last meeting between the two generational managers as they prepare to challenge for the Premier League title for the last time.

Their rivalry has been the scene of some of the most intense and entertaining games the league has ever seen, and perhaps the highest quality title races the league has ever produced, but what do the statistics say?

Following the weekend’s clash, Sky Sports compiled a graph comparing the two managers and their time in the Premier League, and it made for interesting reading.

In total, Guardiola, who arrived at the Etihad in 2016, and Klopp, whose reign began a year earlier, have faced each other 22 times during their time in England.

Of those 22 games, Liverpool surpass it with eight wins to seven, while there have been seven draws between the two teams.

However, when it comes to trophies, this is where City’s Spanish boss has dominated.

During their time in England, Guardiola has won 14 major trophies, compared to Klopp’s seven. Thus, he has tasted twice as much success as his great rival when it comes to titles.

That collection includes five Premier League titles for Man City, while Liverpool only have one championship to their name. Of course, they could still change this season.

This is the last time for now that the two elite coaches will share a touchline together.

Since moving to Manchester City, Guardiola has won five Premier League titles and a treble.

Perhaps the most compelling statistic is the net spending of each club during their time in charge of each club.

Liverpool have spent £346m under Jurgen Klopp, but City have had a bigger outlay. Pep Guardiola spent £510m during his time at the club, a difference of £164m.

The Reds’ biggest purchase at the time was the £85m they spent on Darwin Núñez, while they also went bust by signing Virgil van Dijk for £75m and briefly made Alisson the most expensive goalkeeper in the world when he signed him. They bought Roma for 67 million pounds. .

City, meanwhile, broke the £100m barrier to sign Jack Grealish in 2022, and also spent big on Josko Gvardiol (£77m) last summer.
