The Liverpool-Manchester City on Sunday afternoon, in the great atmosphere of Anfield, was disappointing for a long time before a more convincing second half for the Cityzens, who ended up winning 3-0. Enzo Maresca’s team already dominated the debates before the exclusion of Rayan Gravenberch, who received a second very stupid warning (62nd). In the process, a deflected shot from Jérémy Doku allowed Erling Haaland to open the scoring (65th).
Doku’s entry into the Liverpool battle changed everything since the Belgian winger, on the left, then doubled the lead with a curling shot (68th). The Reds were unable to react and the Mancunians hit the nail on the head with a magnificent goal from Rayan Cherki. Coming out of a combination in the open area, the French international erased Jeremie Frimpong with a devastating hook before slipping the ball out of reach of Alisson Becker (78th).
Barcola, things are going wrong!
The genius trained at OL already had two goals before the international window and his record of one goal and two assists for Zinédine Zidane’s French team in four matches. On the other side of the field, another native Lyonnais experienced a much less brilliant encounter: Bradley Barcola.
The Reds left winger has never been able to carry his team with an acceleration with the ball. His attempt to dribble against Matheus Nunes in the first period (26th) was even mocked on the networks. The former PSG player, recruited for 125 million euros, has still not opened his goals or assists counter in 6 meetings with the LFC. And it is his behavior that is particularly worrying. We play the Premier League and Liverpool’s attackers face giants every weekend.
