Liverpool could face Man City again this season… The reason has been revealed! 😱
Pep Guardiola might have felt a twinge of regret watching Liverpool’s exit from the FA Cup at the hands of Manchester United. The defeat not only ended Liverpool’s dream of a quadruple but also dashed any hopes of a potential showdown with Guardiola’s Manchester City in the cup.
However, Guardiola remains optimistic about future encounters with Liverpool. Despite their recent setback, he believes they could meet again in the FA Cup down the line, acknowledging both his and Klopp’s youthful coaching careers and expressing respect for Klopp’s decisions and passion for the game.
Liverpool.com now speculates about a rare playoff match between the two giants if they finish the season level on points, goals scored, and goal difference. This playoff would hinge on their previous league encounters, potentially deciding the Premier League title in Klopp’s final season.
While traditional tiebreakers like head-to-head records and away goals are typically used, both teams drew their previous matches, rendering these factors irrelevant. Still, meeting the remaining criteria seems unlikely, making the idea of a title-deciding playoff all the more intriguing.
