Liverpool and Manchester City have enjoyed a rivalry for the ages in the past decade and as we near the end of Jurgen Klopp’s final season as a Red, Jamie Carragher made a bold statement.
Speaking on Monday Night Football, the Scouser said: “If Klopp was to win the league this season, in terms of what they’ve just done in the Premier League, I would probably edge just for Klopp, having to fight against City, the money that City have – more than Liverpool.
“How Klopp’s built Liverpool, if he could take two titles away from Manchester City, in terms of just English football, I would go for Jurgen Klopp.”
It’s important to note the difference in financial backing for the state-owned club in the Etihad Stadium and a team at Anfield that has excelled on a smaller budget.
It will mean that the German needs the ultimate success in his final year to win this debate and let’s hope that this is the case.
