Liverpool's Triumph at Etihad Signals the End of the Title Race
What a game, what a moment, what a statement. Liverpool’s 2-0 victory at the Etihad over Manchester City wasn’t just a big win—it was the win. The win that sealed the title. You could hear it in the voices of the Liverpool fans as they belted out, “We’re going to win the league,” while City’s faithful quietly filed out of the stadium. And honestly? They’re right.

Liverpool now sit 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League, leaving Arsenal and City trailing in their wake. Yes, technically, there are still matches left to play. But let’s be real—Liverpool have been relentless this season. One league loss all year, seven of the remaining 11 games at Anfield, and a team that looks more machine than man under Arne Slot. Even Pep Guardiola, though unwilling to say it outright, knows the inevitable when he sees it.
This wasn’t a game of flashy dominance—City had more possession, more shots, more touches in the box. But Liverpool? They had control. It was a business-like performance, a championship-winning display. Salah once again proved why he’s one of the greatest, netting his 30th goal of the season before assisting Dominik Szoboszlai to put the game to bed. With 51 goal contributions in all competitions this season, Salah is operating on a level very few have ever reached.
And let’s not forget the defensive wall—Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté were immovable, neutralizing City’s attack with composure and power. Guardiola’s side looked toothless, lacking the cutting edge that has defined them in recent seasons. Even with Jeremy Doku and Savinho trying to make things happen on the wings, City never really looked like scoring.
Arsenal might have a game in hand, but let’s be honest—this isn’t the Arsenal of old. The pressure will mount, and history has shown they don’t thrive under it. Liverpool, on the other hand, have been here before. They’ve suffered heartbreak at the hands of City in previous title races, but this time, there’s no catching them.
So, is it too early to start planning the open-top bus parade? Probably not. Liverpool are champions-elect. The race isn’t just over—it was won in Manchester.
