Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp gives verdict on Manchester City FC’s unbeaten run

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp offered his perspective on Manchester City and their remarkable run of 23 consecutive home wins ahead of the crucial clash against them at the Etihad Stadium.

Klopp shared his insights on prolonged winning streaks, drawing parallels with Liverpool’s own experiences. Here is what he told the club’s official website:

“What I know, the longer a run is going, the more likelier it is that it ends! So we had that as well – it was Burnley, I think.”

Klopp’s reference to Burnley is reminiscent of a pivotal moment in Liverpool’s recent history. In January 2021, Burnley ended Liverpool’s formidable 68-game unbeaten run at Anfield, delivering a surprising blow to the Reds on their home turf.

Klopp’s statement not only highlights his awareness of the cyclical nature of football but also underscores the unpredictability that characterises the sport. While Manchester City’s dominance at home has been awe-inspiring, Klopp’s reminder of Liverpool’s own setback serves as a testament to the transient nature of lengthy winning streaks.

High stakes

As Liverpool prepare to face Manchester City in this highly anticipated clash, Klopp’s words reflect a mix of respect for City’s achievements and a pragmatic acknowledgement that records are made to be broken.

The upcoming fixture at the Etihad Stadium provides an intriguing backdrop, with Liverpool certainly aiming to disrupt City’s home run and make a statement in the race for the Premier League title.
