Liverpool nine points behind City with a game in hand‘In
Football, everything can happen,’ says GuardiolaPep Guardiola believes it is inconceivable Jürgen Klopp has given up hope of catching
Manchester City in the title race because the
Liverpool manager is such a fierce competitor.
City lead the Merseyside club by nine points having played a game more and Guardiola said his team may need 96 points to retain the title – a figure Liverpool could reach only by winning all their remaining matches. After Liverpool beat Leicester on Thursday Klopp played down his side’s chance of catching City. Guardiola was told – wrongly – that the German had said it was impossible to overhaul the leaders and was asked for his response.
