Guardiola reveals how title rivals Liverpool will be affected by Barcelona loss

Liverpool earlier this week lost 3-0 to Barcelona in the Champions League semi finals first leg. Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola thinks that Liverpool's defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League will have no bearing on the Premier League title race. "I don't think so, the game was incredibly good, both sides. 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. 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."
