Some Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to react after Pep Guardiola called them 'the second best team in Europe'.

The Manchester City boss was speaking ahead of his side's fixture against the north Londoners at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, where the Spaniard will presumably be looking for revenge after last season's Champions League tie at the same venue.

Mauricio Pochettino's men knocked the Citizens out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage thanks to some late VAR-assisted dramatics, resulting in the former Barcelona boss sinking to his knees after finding out Raheem Sterling's goal had been chalked off.

Whether or not Guardiola is simply speaking his mind or trying to play mind games with Tottenham is a mystery to us all, but if he is being genuine, then it's a real compliment from arguably the best manager in the game right now.

Let's see how some Tottenham fans on Twitter reacted to Guardiola's comments...
