๐จ๐๏ธ Jurgen Klopp on Arsenal and Manchester City race for the Premier League Trophy
"Look, I have been there, exactly where Mikel and his Arsenal boys are right now. You are flying, you are pressing, the stadium is rocking, the boys are giving everything โ and still, in the back of your mind, you feel it. Manchester City is there, like this big beast in a nightmare. You run and run, you think 'this time it is different, this year we make it', but one little slip, one bad result, one moment where the legs are heavy... and when you look over your shoulder, they are already breathing down your neck again.
It is so risky, my friend. I know because I lived it โ 97 points, 92 points, still second. You can be brilliant for 35 games and in the end it feels like you were only keeping the title warm for them. Arsenal are doing incredible things, but to beat this City machine you need not just quality, you need perfection and a little bit of luck that sometimes never comes.
Mikel must be careful โ the heart wants to believe, but the head knows how dangerous this position is. We chased like mad, we gave everything, and sometimes... the beast still wins."
