Liverpool Boss On Catching Man City: 'Didn't Think One Second About A Title Race'

Liverpool Boss On Catching Man City: 'Didn't Think One Second About A Title Race'

22 February, 2022

Jurgen Klopp has ruled out the possibility of a title race existing for his side as he believes that they need all the luck to have any possibility of defeating Manchester City this season with Liverpool currently in second place with 57 points, six points behind leaders City, however, with a game in hand. The game in hand is against Leeds United on Wednesday night.

While speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Leeds United game, Jurgen Klopp said, "I was on my way home at 2-1 Spurs then I arrived at home and didn't follow it," said the German when asked about the title race. "I was sure City would equalise. We went out and the driver was very excited, 2-2 then 3-2, he told me Spurs had won. 'Oh!' was my reaction. Nothing has changed, really. We need to win.

The Liverpool coach believes that Manchester City will win all their games as he added, "We expect that (City will win their games). We play them once, that's one we definitely want to win. In this game [Leeds], nothing has changed. We cannot win everything in just one game. We just try to win a very difficult Premier League game. We saw all the faces of Leeds on Sunday."

The 54-year old praises Leeds even though they are currently languishing in 15th place in the Premier League table with 23 points, just five points clear of the relegation places.
