Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted that their game against Manchester City was like a ‘boxing fight’ as they fought back to claim a point. The Reds remain a point behind leaders City with seven games to play after Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane both netted in a thrilling 2-2 draw on Sunday afternoon.
Jurgen Klopp said: “It was like a boxing fight. You have your arms down for a second and get a massive knock and you shake a little. I liked a lot of things. I thought we were closer than ever. The second half start was much better. City really tried obviously things like balls in behind. It makes sense when you have these smart runs. In moments when we tried to breathe a little bit another one comes. It was a great game and the result, we have to live with and can live with. We could do better but in a lot of moments, we did really well. The intensity of the game is crazy. It was good fun, I liked it.”
