Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp asserted that a victory over Manchester City on April 5, 2022, would not guarantee the Premier League title, stressing the necessity of winning all remaining fixtures to secure the championship. The match, described as pivotal in the title race, saw City hold a four-point lead with seven games left, while a Liverpool win could overtake their rivals.
Klopp told reporters, "If you win against City, which is already difficult enough, I think nobody would think, 'OK, that's it decided' because of the quality of the opponent." He highlighted the ongoing challenges, adding, "After this game there will be other games in other competitions but in the Premier League as well."
Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne acknowledged the game's importance but emphasized the remaining fixtures. "As a player you want to win games and trophies and if you want to do that then you need to win these big games," he said. "But if you win, draw or lose, there is still a lot to play for."
