Ilkay Gundogan reveals what Liverpool make Man City do
Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has revealed that the Premier League title is ‘nerve-wracking’ for him and his team-mates. With five games remaining this season, City are one point clear of Liverpool at the top of the table.
Liverpool have put together a remarkable run of form that has seen them pick up 38 points from 14 league games in 2022. The only times they have dropped points have been 2-2 draws with Chelsea and City.
Jurgen Klopp’s men also beat City 3-2 earlier this month in the FA Cup semi-finals, which may give his side a psychological boost ahead of the run-in.
Gundogan, who played under Klopp when the Liverpool boss was in charge of Borussia Dortmund, admits that the pressure is something that he and his City team-mates are conscious of.
“It is a very exciting and nerve-wracking race for us as well as for the fans,” he told Sport1.
