„Liverpool“ footballers were welcomed at the „Etihad“ stadium with a champions corridor, but their performance did not even come close to reminding of the team that secured the title in record time. In the 32nd round of the English „Premier“ League, the newly crowned champions were punished by the winners of the last two seasons - the footballers of „Manchester City“. Pep Guardiola's disciples celebrated a crushing victory of 4:0. Already in the first half, „Man City“ had a three-goal lead. In the 25th minute, Kevin De Bruyne scored from the 11-meter mark. In the 35th minute, Raheem Sterling scored his first goal in the country's championship against „Liverpool“, and champions' sufferings were completed at the very end by Phil Foden. In the second half, „Man City“ continued their dominance. The final point was set in the 66th minute - after Raheem Sterling's shot, the ball was directed into their own goal by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. In terms of the tournament table, these matches no longer had great importance for either team."
