“Is a miracle.” Jamie Carragher stated that today, Liverpool did something against Manchester City that has never been seen in their history…

Jamie Carragher remarked that Liverpool achieved something unprecedented against Manchester City today.

As Liverpool prepared for Sunday’s match against Manchester City, they experienced the unusual sensation of being the favorites.

The two teams have engaged in numerous intense encounters in recent years, with Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola exchanging tactical blows.

However, this time, Guardiola brought his City squad to Anfield for the first occasion without Klopp at the helm of Liverpool.

With Arne Slot’s team holding an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League as the match began, it seemed a significant challenge for City to secure a victory.

This was evident in the early moments of the game, as Liverpool took the lead through Cody Gakpo just 12 minutes in, a goal they arguably could have followed up with more.

Reflecting on the first half during the halftime break, Jamie Carragher pointed out a remarkable aspect of Liverpool’s performance that he had “never seen” against Guardiola’s City.

Despite City entering the match on a six-game winless streak, Liverpool fans remained cautious.

Regardless of their recent struggles, City are still four-time defending champions and possess considerable talent throughout their squad.

However, the supporters’ concerns likely eased as they witnessed their team deliver an electrifying start to the match.

At halftime, the 1-0 scoreline could have been more favorable for Liverpool, and after reviewing a series of missed opportunities on Sky Sports, Carragher noted that the level of control Liverpool exhibited was unprecedented under Klopp.

“I’ve never seen a Liverpool team dominate Pep Guardiola’s Man City like this,” the Liverpool icon stated.

“The fact that it’s still 1-0 is a miracle.”

While Slot would have been pleased with Liverpool’s strong start against City, the Reds missed the chance to extend their lead when they had the opportunity.

With only a single goal separating the teams, the second half was bound to become tense.

Content with their advantage, Liverpool noticeably adopted a more defensive approach, permitting City to gain a stronger presence in the match.

The Reds had opportunities to extend their lead, with Mohamed Salah notably failing to convert a one-on-one chance against Stefan Ortega.

However, the overwhelming control displayed in the first half highlighted the current disparity between the two teams.
