(Dan Tri) – Man City and Liverpool have considered themselves enemies in recent years.
* The match between Man City and Liverpool in round 28 of the Premier League takes place at 10:45 p.m. on March 10 at Etihad Stadium.
Before today’s big match, Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold actively provoked Man City by saying that Liverpool’s titles in the `new era` are more meaningful.

Of course, Alexander-Arnold’s statement `touched` Man City members.
In some ways, such verbal battles are common before decisive battles.
In the era of Klopp and Pep Guardiola, Liverpool and Man City considered each other mortal enemies.
The first slice of hatred began when the two teams met in the quarterfinals of the Champions League in April 2018.

There is one notable detail.
In October 2021, when English football fields began to bustle again after being banned from entering the field due to Covid-19, Liverpool fans were accused of salivating when entering Man City’s training area.
But hurt people want to hurt others.
That action touched the pain of Liverpool people.

Pep Guardiola was also extremely angry after Phil Foden’s goal was denied.
The day after the match, Man City’s bus was attacked again.
Ignoring warnings, extremists have many times turned matches between Man City and Liverpool into parties of violence.

And then, when reading the news in the newspaper, people also see information about a 53-year-old Man City fan being assaulted outside the stadium or disabled Liverpool fans being taunted.
For a long time now, Man City and Liverpool have left their dominant footprint on the Premier League.
