Zohran Mamdani told a Liverpool fan that Manchester City “shouldn’t even be in the league” after the Reds lost 3-0 over the weekend.
The mayor of New York City, an avid Arsenal fan, aimed a dig at a Liverpool-supporting reporter during a press conference on Wednesday (14 October).
Greeting the journalist, he said: “How’s it going, how are you as a Liverpool fan right now?
“You got beat by a team that shouldn’t even be in the league, but anyway.”
It comes after City defended their post-match celebrations following their victory at Anfield, which was their first match since an independent commission found them guilty of 114 breaches of Premier League financial rules, involving more than £900m in disguised funding.
