Liverpool sinks against ManCity and finally bids farewell to title fight
Liverpool lose sight of the title defense. In the top game of the 23rd day of the Premier League, the champions lost at home to Manchester City, which has been irresistible for weeks, after three goals in the final phase and two terrible 1: 4 goal errors.
After Mohamed Salah’s 1-1 draw (63rd), Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp wanted victory. He switched to the Swiss Xherdan Shaqiri and thus reinforced the offensive. But instead of goals and victories, there were low blows for Liverpool and a juicy defeat. This was mainly due to goalkeeper Alisson, the world’s most expensive goalkeeper, who played two terrible bad passes from his own penalty area in three minutes and thus double-scorer Ilkay Gündogan (73rd) and Raheem Sterling (76th). ) with two strokes to score. 3: 1 made the decision possible.

After another defeat, the fourth in the last seven games, Liverpool are ten points behind Manchester City in the standings and have even played one more game than coach Pep Guardiola’s team. Rather than deal with defending their title, Liverpool must prevent the final 15 games of the season from collapsing outright. The team, which is particularly weak defensively, is threatened with a fall from the Premier League top 4.
Such scenarios were common at Manchester City in the fall, when the star team swayed in the center of the table. But since mid-December, Manchester City has been running from victory to victory; Now there are ten successes in a row. The 2019 champions rose from sixth place to the top and are now eight points lost ahead of their city rivals Manchester United. For comparison: During Manchester City’s winning streak, Liverpool only scored nine points, 18 fewer than their rivals.
