Chelsea fans were left feeling suspicious after Pep Guardiola complimented the west London giants after their 2-1 win over the Blues.
The Manchester City boss claimed in his post-match press conference that Frank Lampard’s side are ‘so good’ and that they are an ‘incredible team’. When questioned by the Sky Sports reporter on why he thought that, Guardiola responded ‘it’s Chelsea’ (via Sky Sports).

Guardiola’s comments comes amidst a good run of form for the London club, who had won six consecutive Premier League games prior to Saturday’s loss.
Over the last decade, the Stamford Bridge giants have proven to be the most successful side in England having racked up 11 major honours (via Transfermarkt) with Manchester United the Premier League nearest rivals, having won eight major honours (via talkSPORT).
Fans believed the former Barcelona manager’s comments weren’t very authentic as they took to Twitter to react.
Here is a selection of tweets from the west London faithful:
Probably he wouldn’t say it if they lost …#fraudiola

HE PRAISES TEAMS WHO OPEN UP AND GIVE HIS PLAYERS ACRES OF SPACE!!!
It’s not a good thing that he praises the way we play! It’s a trap

Sarcasm…there are no moral victories for @ChelseaFC, save that stuff for Spurs, Arsenal, United, etc.
