If there was any despondency in the Liverpool camp after they punched themselves to a standstill in the epic title decider, then it didn’t show.
Instead, there was a resolve, a clear intent even, on the job they must now do in the most enthralling race, well, since they last went toe to toe with Manchester City in that titanic run-in back in 2019. One by one, the Liverpool players emerged afterwards, to say they will haunt their great rivals, will stand on their shoulders every single step of the way until the final game, ready to put on an unbearable pressure that can break even the greatest teams.
And that shows they believe, passionately, this race is not yet run. City may have a crucial advantage, may have demonstrated before they can win every single one of their remaining seven games. But with the distraction of the Champions League they are obsessed with, can they also resist the pressure the Reds have vowed to put on; a pressure like no other.
