Jamie Redknapp and Micah Richards disagree over Pep Guardiola after Carabao Cup triumph

Jamie Redknapp has named Pep Guardiola as the "greatest ever", following Manchester City's Carabao Cup win yesterday, though Micah Richards doesn't completely agree. Guardiola's side celebrated a victory over the rivals, Tottenham, in the final of the competition, with Aymeric Laporte scoring the winning goal for his side. "There was a huge gulf in class," Redknapp said on Sky Sports. "Pep Guardiola, I think he is a genius, the players will run through brick walls for him. The football they play in midfield, from the back, it is a joy and they were far superior. "Is he the greatest ever? I personally think with the style of football he plays, how humble he is, the way he improves players, I think he is the greatest ever. Already for whatever happens from here. "There was always that argument when he was at Barcelona that he had Messi, Iniesta, Xavi. But now everywhere he goes you see the progression, the improvement. And this year might be the most successful. "After eight games they were 14th in the league, everyone questioning whether they had lost their appetite and whether the players were not running for him anymore. He has proved that is not the case. They are on a 21-game winning run, which is frightening. " Citizens are also on their way to winning the Premier League, with the Champions League semi-final against PSG coming this week. Hence, the former City star Micah Richards has some disagreements with Redknapp and claims Guardiola is yet to become the boss of all time. "The League Cups are massive but the Champions League takes him to the next level," he said in response to Redknapp's comments. "He didn't win it at Bayern [Munich] with all those top players, won it at Barcelona but he had a really good Bayern side. I think the credit I can give to him is the way he has evolved the playing. "From the youth the first team, not matter who he puts in that squad, they all play the same way. That’s the difference in the process and everyone buying in."
