The Liverpool manager appeared before the press this Thursday.
4 consecutive games without a single victory, a disappointing 4th place in the standings: has Manchester City lost the recipe for success? The reigning champion has been showing unusual signs of fragility in recent weeks. While Liverpool are currently ahead of Pep Guardiola’s men, there is no question for Jürgen Klopp of claiming victory.
Called to comment on the title race this Thursday, the Reds manager was very clear: according to him, Manchester City remains the favorite for this English championship. A Premier League that the Sky Blues have won in 5 of the last 6 seasons.
Klopp’s strong words on City and Guardiola
“ Frankly, if anyone ruled City out of the running, it would be the biggest joke in football history. It does not mean anything, thundered Jürgen Klopp. The Premier League is incredibly tough, you have to be lucky to get through tough times, especially with injuries“, concluded the German, whose team is currently in second place in the English championship behind Arsenal and ahead of Aston Villa, who defeated City on Wednesday (1-0).
