The championship race hasn’t been this exciting for a long time. Only on the last day of the game will it be decided who will win the Premier League. Manchester City and Liverpool FC are in a long-distance duel.
Do the Manchester City fans who have been spoiled by success in recent years at least have something to celebrate? Or will there be celebrations again in Anfield?
Defending champions City with Pep Guardiola have a narrow lead over cup winners and Champions League finalists Liverpool with Jürgen Klopp before the last matchday. The two top teams fight in a long-distance duel for the championship. Theoretically, it is even possible that the title decision will be postponed after 90 minutes.
Star coach against cult coach
In terms of popularity at their current clubs, Guardiola and Klopp take little. But the Spaniard, acclaimed by City fans and respected as one of the best coaches in the world, tends to be an introvert. And the star coach, who previously trained FC Barcelona and FC Bayern, often seems a bit dogged and distant.
On the other hand, his German coaching colleague Klopp not only inspires his own supporters, but also other football fans with his intoxicating passion and his easy-going, funny manner Borussia Dortmund as a “cult coach” – which you will probably never say about Guardiola.
Your record in England
In terms of titles won, Guardiola’s eight trophies (not counting the English Super Cup) so far lead Jurgen Klopp and his six titles with Liverpool. Guardiola won the English championship three times with the Cityzens, the FA Cup once and the League Cup four times in a row from 2018 to 2021, which is not given too much importance.
