John Henry’s wife Linda Pizzuti thanked Manchester City for thinking of Liverpool after their clear social media dig.
Pep Guardiola’s side were crowned as Premier League champions for the fourth time in succession at the weekend. Their 3-1 win against West Ham triggered wild celebrations at the Etihad Stadium.
City’s social media team could not resist poking fun at former title rivals Liverpool. The club tweeted “THIS MEANS FOUR,” alongside four trophy emojis in what appears to be a direct response to the Reds’ club motto of ‘This Means More’.
Taking to Instagram with an image of the tweet, Pizzuti posted: “A sincere congratulations to Man City - Premier League champions! So much respect for this tremendous achievement. Thanks for thinking of us on your special day.”
City’s dig comes after a war of words broke out between Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold and City star Erling Haaland. The former claimed that winning trophies meant more to the Reds.

He said: "We’re up against a machine that’s built to win – that’s the simplest way to describe City and their organisation. Looking back on this era, although they’ve won more titles than us and have probably been more successful, our trophies will mean more to us and our fanbase because of the situations at both clubs, financially. How both clubs have built their teams and the manner in which we’ve done it, probably means more to our fans.”
Haaland responded by poking fun at the fact that Alexander-Arnold had not experienced the feeling of winning a treble. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp then got involved in the debate and back his defender’s comments.

The German said: “I am not sure how often we have to say in this club how often we respect City. Trent understands that but he is a Liverpool fan, he stood on the sides before the pitch. Our slogan ‘This Means More’ means it means more to us.”
The outgoing Liverpool boss added: “Man City are the most successful in years and maybe Europe and it means a lot for their people I am sure. Maybe for us, it’s because we didn’t win that many. It’s not that we won five and then six and the fifth was better.
“You love these interviews when someone says what they think and the whole world [reacts]. He’s still allowed to think what he wants. Nothing wrong with what Trent said in my view.”
City could potentially be celebrating even more silverware before the end of the season. Guardiola’s side take on Manchester United in the FA Cup final at Wembley.
