Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte on Manchester City and Liverpool's rivalryAntonio Conte made surprising claim about Manchester City and LiverpoolTottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte recently pointed out that without Liverpool, Manchester City would have dominated the Premier League.Jurgen Klopp's team have been the biggest kryptonite of Guardiola's side in recent times. They are the only team to win a Premier League title in the previous five years outside of Manchester City. They lost out on the race by just a point last season. Conte pointed that out, saying (via HITC):“First of all, I think that Liverpool have to be proud because in the last five years they were the big, big rivals for [Manchester] City. Otherwise, without Liverpool I think maybe [Manchester City] could do in the same way like Juventus was in Italy.&quot; He added:&quot;So for this reason they have to be proud to reach this level and I think they improved a lot in these years during the transfer market with the big, big signings, and this is a positive thing I’m telling to Liverpool because you can have money to spend, but if you waste your money, you don’t sign good players and you can have whatever money you want, but you have to spend it in the best possible way.&quot;The Cityzens will next host Chelsea in the third round of the FA Cup on November 9.
