“[Solly March has] just a small issue. I think he we will be back after the international break.”
#MCIBHA | #BHAFC
Fabian Hurzeler: “We played in our style. We proved that we can compete with the very best in the league, especially in the second half. We were a better team.
“It’s a fact it’s the first time we have got a point here, but we are disappointed it's not three.”

#Haaland | #ManCity | #MCFC | #PL | Full story 👇
Guardiola on Haaland’s injury: “I have the feeling he’ll be back soon because he could train, making some really good movements, but he’s said to us twice that he’s not ready. We have to respect that and hopefully against Spurs he can help us.”
#MCLIV | #ManCity
Pep Guardiola on Erling Haaland’s injury: “I don’t know [when he’ll be back]. It’s his knee. Apparently it's not dangerous because all the exams dictate that he is fine.”
#MCLIV | #ManCity
Liverpool boss Arne Slot: “No-one saw us as a title contender when we started the season. No-one in world football would have expected City not to be so close to [the top].”
#MCILIV | #LFC | #ManCity
Liverpool boss Arne Slot: “If you win [at Man City], it's always a big win, no matter what the #PL table looks like.
“If you play away from home against Pep’s team, it's almost impossible to have more possession, so we knew we had to defend a lot and that's what we did really well.”
#MCILIV | #LFC
Despite all their dominance in possession, #ManCity were second best against a well-organised #LFC side, who now have one hand on the #PL trophy thanks to record-breaking Mohamed Salah
Certainly Liverpool’s day today, and all but certainly their season too.
