The righteous won, and not a tinpot club who got suddenly rich after opening an oil pipe. Respect to the Reds, doing football the right way.

@lio Lets keep this thread about City and Liverpool please. :(
Its just didn't work out for City yesterday and I still feel they were partly defeated because of bad karma. Ederson pushing Mane around and getting away with it only a Yellow (yeah Mane was reckless but the GK should kept his cool) or Sterling making a key assist after having faulted Van Djik. That was a bit dirty. It went back to bit them I say cause the goal after that, that Sane scored was dissalowed despite being onside (imo at least). After that, Liverpool took back the momentum and Salah was superb on his goal, he didn't call for a penality after Mane felt and kept on playing, which was the right choice in my opinion. It was pretty much, already over then. Would like to point out Pep put extra pressure on his team by getting send off to the stand.

@lio tbf, who knew valverde's team would get conceded 3 goals, despite the dissappointment, that's the point of champions league. lol, even pundits get it wrong for both matches. In city's game, I knew when salah scored, it's over. still credit to pep, he always play risky football 6 attacking players, 1 dm, 3 backline. it's all or nothing for him.

@thebaldgenius Yeah, lets not forget that Laporte and Walker both mounted on the wing at time so they didn't even actually played completely on the back line. It was full offense from Pep so yeah, bravo to him for good mentaliy but come one, he should have started Aguero. De Bruyne was also dissapointing. I feel like he have hard time performing under pressure. :(

The Premier League's two most prolific outfits will pit their firepower against each other in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, as Liverpool welcome Manchester City to Anfield for what will be a tremendous occasion.
In the first leg of this quarter-final tie, City, the runaway leaders in the Premier League, will be seeking to tame what'll be a hostile atmosphere on Merseyside. However, Pep Guardiola's team have overcome most challenges that have been put in front of them in 2017-18.
Liverpool are the only team to have beaten the Manchester outfit in the top flight this season. The Reds will be confident of repeating that result, especially given star forward Mohamed Salah's sensational recent form.
A feast of ferocious and fantastic football is in store. Here are all the viewing details, to ensure a minute of this one isn't missed, and a preview of one of the standout last-eight matches.
Sometimes matches between domestic rivals in the Champions League are a little underwhelming, but anyone who enjoys football will be looking forward to the tussle between these two enterprising outfits.
The onus will be on Liverpool in the first leg, as they'll be roared on by their supporters with memories of their 4-3 win over City in mind from earlier in the campaign.
With Salah in such stunning form, the Reds will feel as though they can accomplish anything, too. After another goal to secure a late win for Liverpool at Crystal Palace on Saturday, football writer Andrew Beasley put the Egyptian's goalscoring exploits into context:
And, as noted below, Salah's extraordinary form has been causing quite a stir back in his homeland:
In addition to Salah, City will have the elusive Roberto Firmino and the dynamic Sadio Mane to cope with at Anfield. Guardiola will want to see his side do a better job here than they did in January, when the trio ran riot.
Yet City won't take a backwards step against Liverpool, and against Everton in the Premier League on Saturday, they were at their sizzling best, with Leroy Sane, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling pulling the Toffees apart in a stunning first-half show.
In the game against Liverpool at Anfield earlier in the season, the Reds smothered City in midfield, pouncing on Fernandinho whenever he was in possession and stopping the supply line from the Brazilian into David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne.
It'll be intriguing to see how Guardiola looks to go about combatting that press. However, as relayed by Kristof Terreur of Het Laatste Nieuws, the midfield linchpin appears better prepared for dealing with that type of challenge based on his performance on Saturday:
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will want to see his players make the most of the atmosphere and start quickly against City. If they can do that, get Salah into the game and upset City's mechanical passing, then they have a chance of taking an advantage to the Etihad Stadium for the second leg.
Yet the visitors appear ready for this almighty challenge. City are well-rested, in form and seemingly focused ahead of the biggest week in their season so far. They'll match Liverpool and give themselves an edge at the midpoint of this tantalising tie.
Prediction B/R: Liverpool 2-2 Manchester City
From Bleacher report. ( copy pasted dont have time to make mine sadly ) probably later if people could participate on Polls you're welcome.
My prediction : 3-1 Liverpool, Pep to play like in the league, Klopp to use same way that stopped City from buildind up triangles and isolate the player with the ball. Salah to score a brace lol.
